She changed his mind and made him vote

When Micah Haynes sat down with her friend Jordan the morning of Election Day, she realized he hadn’t voted. And he wasn’t planning to. “I was like, ‘No, no, no, no. You got to go out and vote.'” Haynes studied political science, and is a Kamala Harris supporter. Her friend Jordan is a Republican.

“He was on the fence as a Trump supporter,” she says. “He had some questions about the economy, the border, health care. And I just pointed out how strong Kamala’s stances on all those topics are, and how articulate she is in her her policies.”

Jordan is young and white. Haynes said that all of his male friends are Trump supporters. But Haynes was able to sway him — not just to vote, but to vote for Harris.

“I didn’t think it could be done,” she says, grinning. “So I think that’s why I’m so excited. I’ve been trying to talk to him about it for months now. We get into arguments about who’s right, who’s wrong, which candidate to choose. So to kind of have him come through today in the final hours, it was really exciting to have that have that happen.”

As Jordan walked into the polling place, she cheered for him: “You got this, Jordan! Don’t forget to take a picture.”
