Kamala Harris recently expressed her affection for Gen Z during a town hall in Malvern, Pennsylvania, despite her earlier comments labeling the 18-24 age group as “stupid.” In her remarks, she emphasized her commitment to a new generation of leadership distinct from the current Biden administration, criticizing Donald Trump for fostering division during his presidency.

Harris proposed changes to federal employment requirements, suggesting that not all positions need a college degree.

In a notable pivot, she affectionately stated, “I love Gen Z,” highlighting their awareness of pressing issues like climate change and gun violence, and praised their eagerness to make a difference.
