There’s something to this.
It feels like Harris clearly performed better, what are the undecideds really looking for?
If it was at all “which candidate cares about my concerns?” then all they got from Harris was “everything’s great” or “I’ll fix it” - but they know she hasn’t.

This is such an awful question to even ask.
Children cannot consent to such potentially traumatic, life-changing decisions at that age.
Grooming is a thing.
Statutory rape is a thing.

We know how few votes republicans get in NYC, so this is what they wanted. This is what New Yorkers voted for, isn’t it?
Did they not hear their mayor promising sanctuary to illegal immigrants? Did they not cheer for it?
Are they not getting what they wanted?
