AANHPI Voters Could Swing 2024 Election

As the 2024 Presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump intensifies, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) voters may play a pivotal role, particularly in swing states where they comprise approximately 1.75 million eligible voters. Polls show a tight competition, with key states like Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Arizona showing candidates neck and neck. Experts emphasize that both parties need to engage meaningfully with AANHPI voters on issues such as immigration reform, education, and economic opportunity, as a significant portion of this demographic identifies as Independent. The evolving landscape also includes undecided voters, with around 15% in critical states indicating they may change their minds before Election Day. As turnout from these groups could sway the election outcome, targeted voter mobilization efforts are crucial. The race is further complicated by candidates' differing economic visions and potential influences from voters abroad, making the next weeks critical for both campaigns.
