    Strategy Session

    Gen Z is all in for Kamala! That was the message from Santiago Mayer, founder of Voters of Tomorrow. With VP Harris at the top of the ticket, Gen Z voters are tuned-in and flooding to volunteer to get her elected. Has the mood of young voters changed? For sure. Does that guarantee a win? It increases the chances, but there are no guarantees. And, as Santiago points out, the right is decades and billions of dollars ahead of Democrats and sane centrists in building the political infrastructure to create a strong, educated, active, voting base.
