Kamala Harris is hoping they are the tide that turns the election for her.
On an abnormally warm fall morning on the University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor campus, dozens of students stood in line to vote at the university’s early voting centre.

“She’s just a leader that I would to look up to to represent my country,” she said.
