Harris’s entry into the race has energized young Black voters, and could make a difference in a tight race against former President Trump that is likely to come down to seven swing states.

And then there is the identity of Harris, the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother. Black voters have indicated Harris’s identity is a driving factor in how they’ll vote.
Seventy-one percent said it is very or somewhat important that Harris could become the first female president, while 64 percent said the same about her being the second Black and first ever Asian American president, according to the Post/Ipsos poll…..
