Kamala Harris is making a push to appeal to young voters in the upcoming election. In a virtual address to a youth voter summit in Atlanta, she emphasized the importance of earning the votes of young people and highlighted the progress made by the Biden-Harris administration on various issues. Following Joe Biden’s endorsement of Harris as his running mate, young supporters have shown enthusiasm and support for her campaign.
Progressive leaders like Pramila Jayapal are impressed by the level of excitement and support generated by Harris, especially among young people. Harris, who is set to become the first woman of color to lead a major-party presidential ticket, is seen as a strong candidate who can energize young voters and minority communities.
Despite facing criticism for her handling of the Israel-Gaza conflict, Harris has expressed empathy for Palestinians and a desire to chart her own course on the issue. Her campaign has received record fundraising and support from grassroots donors, volunteers, and first-time donors.
With polls showing Democrats gaining ground against Trump with Harris at the top of the ticket, there is optimism among youth-led groups that Harris can inspire a new wave of energy and excitement in the final stretch before the election. The “Kamalove” campaign has been embraced by supporters, and alliances have been formed to boost Harris’s candidacy in the lead-up to November.
