How the Harris campaign is galvanizing young voters in Maryland

The months since Kamala Harris announced her candidacy have been filled with viral social media moments. Since her campaign began in July, it was as if a spigot turned on, and the internet was awash in memes and TikTok videos about her, often created by and for young people.

But is that enthusiasm translating to more engagement on the ground from young voters?

That spike, in part, was due to a swell of voters under 30. Three of the best weeks for young voter registration in Maryland this year happened post-Kamala – nearly 11,000 voters under 30 registered in the weeks after her July 21 announcement.

Maryland voter registration data shows July, the month Harris announced her campaign, was the strongest month for voter registration this year, according to an analysis by Capital News Service.
