"I ask you to remember the context in which you exist," said Harris, referring to how her mother remarked on the disconnection she saw in the youth's perspective. She indicated that young people must understand the history shaping their lives.
While the Harris campaign successfully embraced internet trends and gained traction among younger demographics, the stark reality became clear: memes may raise awareness, but they do not translate into votes.
Despite championing youth-relevant issues such as gun violence prevention and climate action, Harris saw a concerning decline in support among young voters compared to the previous election.
The youth vote, which had been a stronghold in 2020 for Democrats, became a point of contention in the current election, highlighting a misalignment between party messaging and the priorities of young voters.
