The young people I've spoken with since Tuesday want to hear the presidential candidates' concrete proposals around issues and a timeline for action. Oh, and Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala.
Love your reporting on this election and appreciate this insight. This really raises questions for me about how we also educate Americans (but particularly young people) on how substantive change happens, which is typically through Congress and legislation. Hopefully even while people want to hear more from Harris on their policies, they are also looking at down ballot races and working to elect members of Congress who want to break the gridlock and get bills passed. For most young voters, they have only been exposed to the least productive Congresses in our history. Perhaps Harris benefits from pulling a Truman and reminding voters that Congress has done very little and that needs to change.
