Kamala Harris pushes teenyboppers’ rights, explains why she thinks children should get to vote
by
Senator Kamala Harris — one of the motley crew of Democrats running for president — supports lowering the voting age to 16, as many in her party are pushing for. In fact, she thinks the lower the age, the better.
Harris made the remarks at a town hall hosted by her pal, CNN opinion host Don Lemon.
‘Teens and Even Younger’ Should Have More Political Power
During the event, a college student asked Harris if she believes the voting age should be lowered to 16. Harris said yes.
“I think there is no question if we are looking at what is going on in our country, that we’re putting more responsibilities on people at a younger age. And the larger the number of people we can involve in the electoral process, I think the more robust it would be.
“I believe strongly that you can judge a society based on how it treats its children. You can look at what we are not doing for our students, teenagers and even younger. I believe if they had greater political power, maybe we would get our act together better than we’ve been doing, and maybe that’s one of the steps towards it.”
