The 25-year-old, who works as an administrative assistant at a local school, says even people he thought might ignore the election have said they have their support for the vice president.
The enthusiasm represents a sharp contrast to the situation Lugo faced just over a month ago, when he was campaigning for Biden in Laurinburg, the seat of Scotland County, not far from the South Carolina border.
At that time, the activist admitted to AFP that young voters were “frustrated” with their choices, facing the choice between Biden, 81, and Donald Trump, a 78-year-old former Republican president.
Now, Lugo believes Harris, 59, can win North Carolina, one of the few swing states that is likely to play a crucial role in the race for the White House.
It will be an uphill battle, as no Democrat has won this southern state since Barack Obama in 2008.
“North Carolina will have something to say in November,” said Zach Finley, president of the North Carolina Young Democrats.
