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

    It doesnā€™t matter what happened after.

    It absolutely does. The administration fought to get the workers what they wanted. Thatā€™s more effective than a strike.

    Unions have not been set back decades either. In fact, theyā€™re more powerful than theyā€™ve ever been. UAW brought auto manufacturers to their knees. SAG joined forces with writers to get their due from Hollywood and secure worker protections against AI.

    This is what a pro union administration emboldens. Letā€™s not pretend that the rail strike was a simple black and white issue. It couldā€™ve caused delays that would make water undrinkable in cities, prevent electricity or heating in winter, and delay crucial medication shipments.
