Ian Alexander, a 23-year-old democratic voter said he feels more excited to vote for Harris.
"I just think she's more energic you know? Honestly, because of her gender and race, I think young people will gravitate to that," he said.

Nearly 20% of Minnesota Democrats voted "Uncommitted" in the March primary to protest the Israel-Hamas War, a movement fueled by young people on college campuses.

"I think it's time for change. I'm excited to vote, I think everyone should vote," said a young Republican voter.
