Almost 40,000 people registered to vote in the 48 hours after President Biden announced he was suspending his reelection campaign and endorsing Vice President Harris, Vote.org said.

Vote.org said 38,500 new voters registered, representing the largest number of registrations in a 48-hour period this election cycle.

Of the new voter registrations, 83 percent were from people aged 18-34, according to the voting registration nonprofit group.

      Also re-reading my apology for getting lost in the sauce of my own bias of how I viewed 2022 I realize i might come across as being snarky when legitimately I forgot how that year went for everyone else because I was so frustrated watching both sides in VA say one of the candidates was exactly like Trump. I wasn’t being sarcastic in my prior comment. Legitimately. I goofed up and I’m sorry

        No worries, friend. I always try to believe the best in people until they prove otherwise, so I never took your comment badly. And I’ve certainly been on the other end of losing my cool before, too. Your frustration is very understandable and I can relate.

        Besides, I lived in VA for about 5 years myself. We’re practically former neighbors.
