The election just got a lot more interesting. It’s inspiring young voters to register.
Move over Taylor Swift. Vice President Kamala Harris may be one-upping you ‒ at voter registration anyway.
Last September on National Voter Registration Day, Swift set a record by encouraging more than 30,000 people to register in a single day.
But in the first 48 hours after President Joe Biden bowed out of his bid for reelection and Harris announced she was running in his place, more than 38,500 registered, according to Vote.org, a nonpartisan platform that encourages voter registration.
As of Friday morning, the figure had surged past 100,000.
“An engaged electorate is the cornerstone of a healthy democracy, and this continued wave of voter enthusiasm shows that Americans are determined to make their voices heard,” Andrea Hailey, CEO of Vote.org, said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY. “The surge of youth engagement is a strong indication that the next generation is motivated to show up this November.”
