Young voters stand to be a critical bloc in the 2024 presidential election, particularly in swing states such as Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia.

Kamala Harris will name her running mate as soon as Monday, as she prepares for a tour of US battleground states aimed at turning excitement over her presidential bid into durable support that can power her to victory.
