Almost 40,000 people registered to vote in the 48 hours after President Biden announced he was suspending his reelection campaign and endorsing Vice President Harris, Vote.org said.
Vote.org said 38,500 new voters registered, representing the largest number of registrations in a 48-hour period this election cycle.
Of the new voter registrations, 83 percent were from people aged 18-34, according to the voting registration nonprofit group.
I was against Biden dropping out because I don’t think Harris has charisma. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the initial reaction.
While I hope to be proven wrong, I suspect this initial momentum is going to fade before long and it’s going to get rough as the excitement dies down and the Right get their talking points dialed in.
But it’s going far better than I thought in these first few days, so I’ll happily take the L on my predictions.
Right talking points so far:
She’s not a man
She’s not white
She laughs
She doesn’t have kids of her own
