**Kamala Harris Proposes Lowering Voting Age to 16, Faces Opposition from Ron DeSantis**

Former Vice President Kamala Harris recently shared her thoughts on changing who can vote in America, suggesting that teenagers as young as 16 should be allowed to cast their ballots. She discussed this idea during an interview on *The Diary Of A CEO*, where she spoke about young people and how they perceive the world today.

Harris highlighted Generation Z, which includes people between the ages of 13 and 27, noting that they have spent their entire lives dealing with climate change issues. According to Fox News, she stated, “we should reduce voting age to 16.” She elaborated, “I’ll tell you why. So, Gen Z, they’re age about 13 through 27, they’ve only known the climate crisis. If they’re in high school or college, especially in college, it is very likely that whatever they’ve chosen as their major for study may not result in an affordable wage.”

### DeSantis Responds with Opposition

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis quickly responded to Harris’s proposal. He expressed his disagreement clearly in a message posted on X, simply saying “No” to the entire idea. DeSantis also argued that being worried about climate change is not a sufficient reason to allow younger people to vote. He suggested that feeling anxious about the environment should not serve as proof that 16-year-olds are ready to participate in elections.

### Harris’s Views on Age Limits Spark Debate

Some observers have noted an apparent contrast in Harris’s views on age regulations. While she supports lowering the voting age to 16, she also believes that people should be older before they can purchase guns.

Since the 2024 election, the former vice president has remained active in politics and vocal on various issues. In 2022, Harris wrote a post advocating for stronger gun laws. She called on the Senate to take action on gun violence by banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Additionally, she proposed raising the minimum age to buy guns from 18 to 21, and strengthening background checks.

Critics have pointed out that these two ideas—lowering the voting age while raising the gun-buying age—seem contradictory. However, supporters of Harris argue that voting and owning guns involve very different responsibilities and should be treated as such.

### The Ongoing Conversation About Voting Age in America

The discussion about lowering the voting age is not new in the United States. Over the years, many have advocated for this change, often emphasizing young people’s passion for issues like climate change and social justice.

As the debate continues, Harris’s proposal reignites important conversations about youth participation in democracy and the responsibilities that come with it.

Kamala Harris Isn’t Done with Politics: Hints at Another Presidential Run

Kamala Harris isn’t ready to step away from the political stage. In a recent interview during her UK promo tour for her memoir *107 Days*, Harris hinted that she might have another shot at becoming President of the United States. Speaking with BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg, she said it’s “possible” she could be POTUS one day, expressing confidence that her grandnieces will see a woman sitting in the Oval Office “in their lifetime, for sure.”

Despite the challenges she’s faced, Harris gave the strongest indication yet that she wants to run again. She also addressed polls suggesting she isn’t the favorite to secure the Democratic nomination, pushing back against such claims.

Taking aim at former President Donald Trump, Harris called him a “tyrant” and didn’t miss the chance to deliver a pointed “I told you so.” She reminded viewers that everything she warned voters about Trump—and what a second term under his “leadership” would look like—has come true.

**Support Builds for Another Kamala Harris Run**

Harris’ recent comments have sparked reactions, with many already expressing support for the former Vice President to make another bid for the White House. One social media user wrote, “Let me clarify a point: Kamala Harris must and would be our nominee for the next election. She gained 75 MILLION votes in just 3 f*cking months. NOBODY did that before. Give her time to run a real campaign and we will win.”

If Harris does decide to run again, it could set up a rematch with the so-called Orange Menace, who is reportedly considering an unconstitutional third term. Lord help us all.

Check out some of the reactions, both for and against Harris running again, below.

Joe Concha says New Jersey governor’s race is now a ‘coin flip’

“She gives these like [former Vice President Kamala Harris] word salad answers, whether she supports boys playing against girls in the state or how much she plans on raising taxes,” he said.

Concha also noted that Sherrill struggles to explain to voters why she didn’t walk at her Naval Academy graduation and how she managed to make $7 million in stock trading. “She simply cannot explain how she made $7 million while trading defense stocks, all while sitting on the armed services committee in the House, and that’s something voters don’t like on either side of the aisle,” Concha said.

Looking at polling data from the last New Jersey gubernatorial race, Concha pointed out that Ciattarelli was down 8 to 10 points at this point four years ago. However, in this election cycle, he is performing better. “He barely lost that race,” Concha said. “Now think about what he has going for him now: real name recognition, campaign experience, [and a] vulnerable opponent.”

Currently, Sherrill is ahead of Ciattarelli by 5 points among likely New Jersey voters, down from an 8-point lead in late September, according to a recent Fox News survey.

**Democratic Doubts Grow Over New Jersey Governor’s Race, Report Reveals**

Concha described the New Jersey governor’s race as a close contest. “This is now a coin flip in a profoundly blue state, especially when you consider how unpopular the Democratic Party is overall across the country,” he said.
