Following President Joe Biden's announcement to exit the 2024 presidential race and his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, there has been a significant surge in voter registrations. In a 48-hour period, nearly 40,000 new voters registered, marking a 700% increase in daily registrations. The majority of these new registrations came from young voters aged 18-34. This spike in voter activity surpasses previous increases seen after endorsements from public figures like Taylor Swift. The surge in registrations is particularly notable in Clark County, Nevada, which had previously seen a strong Republican registration advantage. Additionally, almost 12 million Latinos under the age of 30 will be eligible to vote in November, highlighting the growing influence of young voters in the upcoming election.
