‘I was not voting before, now I am’: gen Z voters on what they think of Kamala Harris
Young US voters weigh in on why they like or dislike the VP as a candidate and if they think she could beat Trump
American gen Z voters share how they feel about Kamala Harris’s presidential bid, why they like or dislike her as a candidate and whether they think she could beat Donald Trump, as the vice-president races towards winning the Democratic nomination for November’s election.
‘I think she’s just what we need’
“I think [Kamala Harris] is the only one that makes sense. She will get the votes Biden couldn’t. She could get the Black, Asian, Latino, women’s, LGBTQ+ and youth votes. She stands more for progress and equality than an old white dude and if she wins it will be historic. The Democrats need a bold move and I think she’s just what we need.

the big winning factor for kamalas voter base is literally just her age. She's nearly 20 years younger than trump. 20 years
literally nothing else matters. Especially among gen z, it just helps that he has such a comprehensive background in government and around other politicians as well.

Its her (relatively thin) track record. Biden's been wading through the blood of a hundred Palestinians a day for the last six months. Kamala's kept her hands relatively clean.
I suspect the Kids Today are going to sour on her as her profile rises. She's got a long history of saying shit that turns off youth voters at the actual polls. But for the moment, people are exuberant about Genocide Joe being shown the door. That - plus JD Vance getting caught with his dick between a pair of couch cushions - is giving her campaign a healthy bump.

i doubt this is a significant voter motivation across the youth. You think gen z voters are going to vote for someone who wasn't biden just because of palestine? Only the disillusioned right wingers are voting for RFK jr, and even those people are fucking insane. They might not be happy voting for biden, but it's not like you really have any other options, other than not voting, obviously, which is likely why we saw an increase amongst registered voters.
its definitely going to get worse as it goes forward, but that happens for almost every president. There is nothing that changes that.
I suppose kamala might shoot herself in the foot later on, but honestly, i'm not expecting her to do that, i imagine she knows how to read the room significantly.
people are excited about joe stepping down because of his disastrous debate performance, and his apparent decline over time. Also he's 80 something years old. Nobody wants an 80 year old president.
Anyone who is holding Biden responsible for Israel is an idiot. Congress is the one who votes for or against aid. Not handing the aid that congress approved in an election year is bordering on political suicide with the moderates knowing that moderates in swing states will entirely decide this election. Harris' big virtue on this issue is that she isn't president and has virtually no power to do anything so she can talk more. Blame ought to accrue to Israelis, their leaders, their hard liners, congress, and the US population for still cleaving to Israel after all their behavior.

The Biden administration once again bypasses Congress on an emergency weapons sale to Israel
