‘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.
“I hope the Democrats realize what an opportunity this is for them.” Will, 22, construction worker from Portland, Oregon

I get very frustrated when I see a few voters clinging to their "uncommitted" status even now. And the ones who do this often look like the kinds of people that the Trumpists will put into camps if he gets re-elected. Stop acting precious about it and commit to the obvious choice. The election is not about you, it's about the future of the country and whether or not we want to embrace or reject fascism.
I’m incredibly suspicious of anyone who still calls themselves uncommitted. And I’m convinced that anyone who makes that claim is more likely to vote for Trump or to not vote at all than to ultimately vote for Harris. If someone is reasonable enough to end up voting for Harris in November, I highly doubt they’re genuinely undecided about it now.
My best guess is that they’re just afraid to admit that they’ve already committed to Trump.
If the choice isn’t clear as day, maybe they’re nocturnal.
In many cases I think you'd be right. But not in all cases. Here's an example of what I was talking about:
People talking to the press will say anything to get on TV.
No one is 50/50 on Trump.
Centrists don't exist.
