Democrat’s polling strength has been underpinned by a growth in support among younger voters, voters of colour and female voters in particular
in Atlanta last week, the 29-year-old rapper called out to the packed arena: “We about to make history with the first female president! The first black female president!”kind of cracked the glass ceiling,” said Yvonne Marcus , who signed up to volunteer for the Harris campaign last month, shortly after US presidentsaid he was ending his re-election bid and endorsing Harris. “But the time is right, now, for Kamala to win this election.
Democrats hope the vice-president can sustain that momentum until polling day on November 5th – and that female voters in particular can help drive a record turnout for their party. Donald Trump questioned if Kamala Harris was black and dismissed the relevance of his VP pick in a chaotic panel interview at the NABJ.
Harris addressed the comments lightheartedly in Atlanta. “He and his running mate sure seem to have a lot to say about me,” she said, prompting laughter from the crowd. “And, by the way, don’t you find some of their stuff to just be plain weird?” “I thought that Hillary was going to get in there, but they fooled us,” said Joycelen King , another volunteer for the Harris campaign. “But to have be a diverse woman, it just shows how much the United States has changed.”
“Women have been waiting for eight years for a messenger,” Brown added. “Harris has stepped into a place where Democrats and those who are aligned with the Democratic Party ... have been hungry for a voice, and she has given them a voice.”
