Young voters in California and across the country are excited about Vice President Kamala Harris. Democrats are trying to capitalize, counting on a surge at the polls to win key congressional races…
Christian Figueroa, 19, a Stanford student and one of the youngest California delegates to the Democratic National Convention, in Los Angeles, on Aug. 3, 2024. Christian Figueroa isn’t jumping on the Kamala Harris bandwagon. He doesn’t need to: The San Gabriel Valley native has been on board ever since her first presidential campaign sparked his passion for politics when he was 13.
While the Harris campaign may be flush with cash, it is short on time to reintroduce her to Democratic and undecided voters, with less than 90 days before Nov. 5.For those not as much in the know, the coconuts are a nod to a viral line from one of Harris’ speeches , Brat green is the color of British artist Charli XCX’s viral “Brat” album and “Veep” is the HBO comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Nationally, reasons for lower participation include young people’s tendency to move a lot, having class on Election Day and some states not accepting student IDs as a form of identification for voter registration. Before that, the biggest spike was in September, when Taylor Swift posted a link to Vote.org on her Instagram story.
