The Yes She Can Campaign to Rally 100,000 Supporters Per Swing State on September 22nd
The Zoom event starts at 7 PM and will feature prominent Democratic leaders from each swing state, each delivering a 5-minute speech.
In a closely contested race, The Yes She Can Campaign is organizing a virtual rally to gather support for the Harris/Walz ticket ahead of the 2024 election. The event, set for September 22 at 7 PM, aims to bring together 100,000 participants from each key swing states via Zoom.
Swing states, also known as battleground states, play a significant role in determining the outcome of presidential elections. Unlike states with more consistent voting patterns, these states can shift between Democratic and Republican candidates, influencing the overall result. Historical data shows how population changes have altered the political landscape, with states like Ohio and Iowa losing their battleground status, while states such as Georgia and Arizona have emerged as new swing states, according to a report from NPR.
The same report highlights the influence of swing states in past elections. For example, Barack Obama’s victories in Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania during the 2008 election were instrumental in securing his presidency. Florida was decided by a narrow 2.8% margin, and Ohio by 4.6%, illustrating the tight competition in these states.
This year, younger voters, particularly those from Generation Z, are expected to be a key demographic. Known for their engagement with social issues like climate change and economic inequality, these voters could significantly influence the election. The Yes She Can Campaign is working to engage this group, aiming to harness their passion for issues that are important to them.
The Democratic electorate also includes a broad range of voters, including college-educated individuals, Asian Americans, and Latinos. In states like Arizona and Nevada, Latino voters have seen notable increases in their share of the electorate. These groups have expressed strong interest in issues like immigration reform, racial equality, and economic opportunity, making them important in shaping the outcome of the election.
“These swing states are critical in determining the election's outcome. Our goal is to mobilize voters and demonstrate the strength of support ahead of Election Day,” said Dewaine Chatman, an organizer for the event. “The goal of 100,000 attendees per state will showcase the support in these pivotal regions.”
The Electoral College system gives swing states an outsized influence in presidential elections, as most states use a winner-takes-all approach to allocate electoral votes. Even small margins in these states can influence the overall result, as seen in the 2000 election, where the outcome was decided by just 537 votes in Florida.
The September 22 Zoom rally will feature speeches from prominent Democratic leaders representing each swing state, aiming to encourage and motivate voters in the final weeks before the election.
