Abortion, the environment and immigration key for Democratic voters in the VP’s home state.
When Meredith Einaudi and her husband Marco Einaudi voted for the first time in 1964, Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson smashed Republican Barry Goldwater in a landslide victory.
That attitude was far from an outlier outside the elite college in deep blue Santa Clara County. In 2020, Democratic President Joe Biden defeated former Republican President Donald Trump there by 47 percentage points., crime and the minimum wage–not to mention two fierce recalls of East Bay officials–the presidential ticket remained top of mind for voters.
Another first time voter, Adrian Pineda, 18, said immigration was top of mind as he cast his vote for Harris. Trump has moved to restrict immigration to the U.S. from Mexico since his first bid for the presidency in 2015. This year, he’s calling for mass deportations of undocumented residents. Harris supports a bipartisan immigration framework that failed to pass Congress earlier this year, but would have beefed up security on the southern border and made it harder to claim asylum in the U.S.
