American gen Z voters share how they feel about Kamala Harrisās presidential bid, why they like or dislike her as a candidate and whether they think she could beat Donald Trump, as the vice-presidentĀ races towards winning the Democratic nominationĀ for Novemberās election.
āI think sheās just what we needā
āI think [Kamala Harris] is the only one that makes sense. She will get the votes Biden couldnāt. She could get the Black, Asian, Latino, womenās, 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 sheās just what we need.
āI hope theĀ DemocratsĀ realize what an opportunity this is for them.āĀ Will, 22,Ā construction worker from Portland, Oregon

I get very frustrated when I see a few voters clinging to their āuncommittedā 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, itās about the future of the country and whether or not we want to embrace or reject fascism.
Iām incredibly suspicious of anyone who still calls themselves uncommitted. And Iām 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 theyāre genuinely undecided about it now.
My best guess is that theyāre just afraid to admit that theyāve already committed to Trump.
If the choice isnāt clear as day, maybe theyāre nocturnal.
In many cases I think youād be right. But not in all cases. Hereās 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 donāt exist.
