"Nationwide, the number of voters registering in late July following Harris’ ascension were as much as triple that compared to the same time four years ago, said Tom Bonier, Democratic strategist and CEO of political data provider TargetSmart.
Many of the new registrants, he said, have been younger voters and more specifically, younger women and younger women of color.
His best comparison: The summer of 2022, when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the case that made abortion legal nationwide.
'At the time we saw that and thought, ‘Wow, you'll never see anything like this again. We haven't seen anything like it before,’ Bonier said.
Bonier said numbers from this summer, though, exceeded what they witnessed then." #KamalaHarris
