TikTok, Brat and Kamala Harris: Will newly fired-up young voters flip elections in California?

Christian Figueroa isn’t jumping on the Kamala Harris bandwagon. He doesn’t need to: The San Gabriel Valley native has been on board ever since her first presidential campaign sparked his passion for politics when he was 13.
