Kamala Harris appears on The Diary of a CEO podcast, where she urged lowering the U.S. voting age to 16, citing “climate anxiety” among Gen Z teens who she claims “fear they’ll be wiped out” by extreme weather.
Kamala Harris is making headlines this week for all the wrong reasons — again.
Failed 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris is pushing to lower the voting age to 16 because of CLIMATE CHANGE.
During an interview with YouTube host Steven Bartlett on “The Diary of a CEO,” Kamala Harris argued that teenagers should be granted the right to vote, citing what she called “climate anxiety” among young people.
Harris described Generation Z as a “specific generation” poised to “impact our nation and the world,” noting that many of them will face instability in the job market and therefore deserve a stronger voice in shaping policy.
She further claimed that young people are “rightly impatient” with Trump’s administration, and insisted that lowering the voting age would push politicians to prioritize issues such as climate change, artificial intelligence, and affordable housing.
While Harris frets over “climate anxiety” preventing teens from having kids, her party’s policies, like sky-high inflation, open borders, and endless regulations, are the real barriers to family formation and prosperity.
Americans know that climate change is a hoax, and hysterical claims of impending doom are just excuses for more government control, higher taxes, and green energy boondoggles that enrich globalists.
Kamala Harris:
I think we should reduce the voting age to 16. I’ll tell you why. Gen Z — their age is about 13 through 27. They’ve only known the climate crisis. They missed substantial parts of their education because of the pandemic. If they’re in high school or college, especially in college, it is very likely that whatever they’ve chosen as their major for study may not result in an affordable wage.
They’ve coined the term “climate anxiety” to describe fear — not only of being unable to buy a home, but fear that it’ll be wiped out by extreme weather, and fear of having children. It is expected that Gen Z will have 10–12 jobs in their lifetime. They are a larger number than Boomers. They’re a specific generation of people who are going to impact our nation and the world.
I think we must invest in them, but I think they are rightly impatient with a lot of what is the tradition of leadership right now. If they were able to vote — because they know everything that’s happening right now is going to impact them more than anybody older than them, for the most part — in terms of how these systems work.
If they’re voting right now, at 16 and up, they’re going to be talking about the importance of climate. They’re going to be talking about the importance of figuring out how AI is going to affect the future of the workforce. They’re going to be focused on what we are really doing about affordable housing.
Basically, in politics, here’s the hard truth about this: there are two centers of power that tend to influence how politicians think — groups that vote the most, and people who write the most checks. To go every day with the people, the people, and think about how do we strengthen people actually going to the polls and voting.
