Trans voters more enthusiastic about voting for Harris than before: survey
Transgender voters are more enthusiastic about the presidential race than ever since Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz took over the Democratic ticket, praising the duo’s record on LGBTQ+ rights.
Since President Biden’s decision to bow out of his reelection campaign, the number of transgender Americans who were enthusiastic about the 2024 race has more than tripled, per a survey conducted by LGBTQ+ health platform Folx Health.
The November election is an especially important one for trans voters, with 89% of surveyed trans-Americans predicting a major impact on nationwide access to gender-affirming care. Additionally, 1 in 5 respondents told Folx that they’d lost access to healthcare in the past year due to conservative-led anti-LGBTQ+ policy.
