Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., credits Vice President Kamala Harris’ effectiveness in “bridging the gap between cool and consciousness” for her campaign’s successful outreach to young voters.
“It’s almost beyond politics. It’s human, it’s culture. That’s what Kamala Harris has tapped into, and when you tap into that, the potential is unlimited,” said Frost, who became the first member of Gen Z to serve in Congress after he was elected at age 25 in 2022.
Speaking in an interview with PBS News on Night 2 of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Frost said the next step is translating that excitement into action and votes.
Frost also discussed what he thinks are among the top issues for young voters, including housing and the climate crisis.
