The kids have spoken, and their choice for president is Vice President Kamala Harris—but by a small margin. The Democratic nominee beat out GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump in the 2024 edition of Nickelodeon’s “Kids Pick the President” campaign, in which America’s future voters are encouraged to make their voices heard in a less-than-scientific online poll. The result, a 52-to-48-percent edge for Harris, mirrors the prediction of some—perhaps more rigorous—national polls, with the election a week away. Harris has a four-point popular vote lead in the latest ABC News/Ipsos poll while other major pollsters have the race essentially deadlocked. Over 32,000 kids cast their digital ballot during Nickelodeon’s polling period from Oct. 3 to Oct. 23. The result was officially announced in a half-hour special last night, hosted by TV host and former NFLer Nate Burleson and his daughter Mia. Meanwhile, Harris and Trump both continue to campaign feverishly to win over swing-state residents of legal voting age ahead of the general election on Nov. 5.
