Influencer In Chief: Harris Takes Over TikTok Gaining Support With Gen Z, Becoming Massive Meme

Historically, younger people have voted at lower rates than older Americans. Could that change now that Vice President Kamala Harris is at the top of the Democratic ticket? Harris has become a meme sensation on social media, with popstar Charli XCX saying “Kamala is so brat,” in a nod to the British singer’s latest album. Can this burst of new energy keep Gen Z fired up enough until November?

This week on What’s America Thinking, host Julia Manchester chats about turning out Gen Z voters to the polls with Rachel Janfaza, founder of “The Up and Up,” a newsletter focused on Gen Z and politics. Also, hear about campaign efforts by young Democrats from David Hogg, co-founder and board member for March For Our Lives, co-founder and president for Leaders We Deserve, survivor of Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Joe Mitchell, founder and president of Run Gen Z and the youngest member to serve in Iowa legislature, talks about the voter sentiments of young Republicans.

What’s America Thinking? is a lively, informative show that leans into why Americans are so fed up with the government and its inability to make their lives better. We’ll focus on the people behind the polls, pocketbook issues, the disconnect between Washington and Main Street - what Americans are REALLY thinking!
