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

    Dems should have absolutely nominated Bernie.

    Idk. I think Bernie would have made a better President, but I still question whether heā€™d have made a winning President. Americans are easily Red Baited, and I could see Republicans cowing a lot of moderate liberals with ā€œHeā€™ll turn American into Venezuela!ā€ scare stories and some sudden sharp drops in everyoneā€™s retirement funds on the eve of the election.

    In 2020, Biden was absolutely the safe path to victory, even if he was a corporate shill and genocidal enabler through his time in office.
