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’ll admit I was wrong too. I thought it would turn into an intra-party squabble that lasted weeks, but I’m pleasantly surprised. It’s nice to be able to make a positive choice instead of just a “lesser evil” one.
