Recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris leading former President Donald Trump by double digits among voters under the age of 30.

Laura Buron Lopez has this report from the swing state of North Carolina.

Here you go go go baby.

W! Let's do it!

Fresh off a tour of 30 college campuses,

26 year old Democrat Anderson Clayton

has been working toward this moment.

This is the first time we ever got in the New York Times.

The nation's youngest State Party chair decided on a strategy early.

The misconception is that somebody like me could not do a job like this.

To build a coalition of young voters like Barack Obama did in 2008.

There are those who were saying that North Carolina would be a game changer.

The last time a Democratic presidential candidate won North Carolina.

We put an emphasis on young voters because that is where I think the party had lacked the emphasis.

We know that North Carolina youth vote is going to change this election cycle for us.

And that meant that we needed young people to get out there and organize young people.

As for former President Donald Trump's recent inroads with Gen Z men,

Clayton pointed to Democrats' edge with women.

We're doing everything we can to combat that.

But I also think that our demographics and where we need to push on doesn't just rely on young

men.
