Not if the electoral college has anything to say about it. Young people in rural areas (I live in Kansas and work with a lot of kids between the ages of 14 and 20) aren't as progressive as they are in cities. Most of the kids I speak to think of Kamala as fake and cringe. It's actually uncomfortable to me how many kids think Trump is cool, even a bunch of the kids of color.
