Teen Vogue’s 2024 student correspondents went to watch parties on university campuses in Nevada , Pennsylvania , and Georgia , as well as an LGBTQ+ bar in Arizona .

Overwhelmingly, the students and young workers we spoke to agreed that Kamala Harris did well.

Many said her performance shored up their confidence in casting a vote for her.

But some felt dismayed that the candidates “danced around” the questions.

With the growing polarization between the two parties, I've started to feel a little more weary of politicians and what they have to say.

I appreciate Kamala 's stance on making sure that we have [gun] laws and policies in place so we don't have kids being shot in schools.

I still feel like a lot of people my age are not voting as much, which sucks.

Candidates didn't lay out a specific plan for the Israel -Hamas war.

Trump said that if he was president, this wouldn't have ever started, which isn't a plan to help the situation going forward.

Harris said that she was going to reinstate and re-empower women at birth.
