CHICAGO (AP) — “ Brats for Harris.” “ We need a Kamalanomenon. ” “ Gen Z feels the Kamalove.”
In the days since President Joe Biden exited the presidential race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, Gen Z voters jumped to social media to share coconut tree and “brat summer” memes — reflecting a stark shift in tone for a generation that’s voiced feeling left behind by the Democratic party.
Youth-led progressive organizations have warned for months that Biden had a problem with young voters, pleading with the president to work more closely with them to refocus on the issues most important to younger generations or risk losing their votes. With Biden out of the race, many of these young leaders are now hoping Harris can overcome his faltering support among Gen Z and harness a new explosion of energy among young voters.
Since Sunday, statements have poured out from youth-led organizations across the country, including in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, California, Minnesota, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, as leaders thanked Biden for stepping aside and celebrated the opportunity to organize around a new candidate. On Friday, a coalition of 17 youth-led groups endorsed Harris.
“This changes everything,” said Zo Tobi, director of donor organizing for the national youth organizing group Movement Voter Project, when he heard the news that Biden was dropping out of the race and endorsing Harris. “The world as it is suddenly shifted into the world as it could be.”

The Republicans should be running that video clip 24/7 on social media.
Gen Z will be the final nail in the coffin for this country when they start getting into leadership positions and Gen X and Baby Boomers die off. We are just managing the decline at this point.
Only those young voters with brains full of mush. But there are some young people who are thinkers and do research.
Sorry but this is a media creation Kamala does a little better with youth than Biden did according to polling but she’s doing worse rhan Biden in 2020 in that group.
This Kamala narrative is mostly hogwash
Remember, SHE DID CALL YOUNG PEOPLE STUPID !!!!
Anyone can go look at the voting lists and find out who voted.
But, when you expect everything to be a deep state conspiracy, why bother reading ANYTHING? Honestly, there is no discussing stuff with people who believe NOTHING.
You can find out if a vote was cast in that name, but not who cast it.
Capisce?
Elections are now about who counts the votes, not who casts them.
Really? Is the snark necessary?
You should see someone about your paranoia.
