ā€˜This data is suggesting that women, younger voters, voters of color, and then especially younger women of color are going to vote at a much higher rate than they did in 2020,ā€™ one strategist says, predicting that it could have ā€˜a significant potential impact on the outcome of this electionā€™

New voter registrations surged among Black women and young people inĀ Pennsylvania whenĀ Kamala Harris became theĀ Democratic nominee for president, according to newly released data.

In the week thatĀ Joe BidenĀ announced he would not run for re-election, new registrations increased by 262 per cent among Black women under 30 compared to the same week in 2020.

Registrations among Black voters increased by 110 per cent, and among voters under 30 years old by 59 per cent, also compared to the same week in 2020.

All of those demographic groups leanĀ heavily towards voting for Democrats.
