American gen Z voters share how they feel about Kamala Harrisā€™s 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 Novemberā€™s election.

ā€˜I think sheā€™s just what we needā€™

ā€œI think [Kamala Harris] is the only one that makes sense. She will get the votes Biden couldnā€™t. She could get the Black, Asian, Latino, womenā€™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 sheā€™s just what we need.

ā€œI hope theĀ DemocratsĀ realize what an opportunity this is for them.ā€Ā Will, 22,Ā construction worker from Portland, Oregon

    These people are voting. Biden is no longer the candidate. You no longer have to lecture people into voting for him.

      These people *are* voting.

      These people are saying they are going to vote. Everyone needs reminding of the consequences of a second Trump term. Also, the ā€œKamala is a copā€ narrative is also in full swing.

        Iā€™m sure that will get balanced out by all the ā€œback the blueā€ conservatives lining up to support her, right?

        ā€¦right?

        Lecturing people who are already excited to do what you want is a great way to piss them off. But given a choice between being self-righteous scolds and winning, Democrats will choose sanctimony every last time.

          Unlike you, who is not giving any self righteous lectures about the DNC at all, right?

            Iā€™m glad the DNC listened. The prevailing attitude from centrists on this thread is ā€œOh my GOD, is nothing good enough for you?!ā€ when itā€™s obvious that for the people in the article, Kamala is.
