‘Young and thoughtful’: Why American voters are switching to Harris

In the wake of growing public concern over his declining health, President Biden officially announced he would not seek reelection in November, and endorsed Kamala Harris as the next Democratic nominee. That announcement changed the dynamics of a presidential election between the two oldest-ever candidates that few Americans had been excited for.

Kamala Harris, at 59, is roughly two decades younger than Trump and Biden. After the announcement, her campaign broke fundraising records, and her candidacy has energized voters across the political spectrum.

Watch this 36-minute episode of America Speaks as pollster and political analyst Dr. Frank Luntz interviews a group of Americans who say they would not have voted for Biden but that they will vote for Kamala Harris. He seeks to understand what they see in Harris that they did not see in Biden.
