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

    Donā€™t trust right wing talking points without researching them. Donā€™t spread information before you check it.

    In seven years as a DA, overseeing more than 1900 cases, only 45 misdemeanor drug possession charges resulted in jail time. Convictions for such misdemeanor charges went down by about half during her time there.

      The only source, interestingly bumped all the way to the top of Google search results tooā€¦ that tries to deny the allegations.

      Yeah good luck with that.
