Vice President Harris' focus on gun control and courting young voters

Vice President Kamala Harris is actively engaging with two key groups in the Democratic base: People of Color and Young Voters. Gun control is a major topic in her portfolio and she has been emphasizing its impact on individuals and communities across the country. Harris has been speaking to mayors and engaging with young people, addressing gun violence prevention as a lived experience and trauma that affects them deeply. Young voters are value-based voters and are more likely to cast a ballot if they feel strongly about issues like gun violence prevention. However, there is a potential lack of enthusiasm among young voters for President Biden's reelection bid, and there are varying levels of approval for Harris depending on race.
