Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris Debate Victories!

In the democratic primary debates held this past week 3 women took the main stage over the course of the two nights. Woman have been taking over in the political world recently and how they performed in the debates showed that. So many women owned their time during the debates but, two that produced a lot of support and social media buzz over those nights were Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren. I thought that I would do a quick profile on both Harris and Warren!

Elizabeth Warren debated on the first night of the scheduled debates and Harris the second. They both made great showings on their nights as social media was talking about them for days after. Not only did the news of how they competed hit social media but the polls as well. Both Warren and Harris rose significantly in their polling numbers post debate. Harris rose 9 percentage points after the debate and has risen to 17% support nationally. Similarly, Warren gained 8 points after the debate and now has 15% of the support nationally. I really enjoyed watching these women during the debates and I hope that their poll numbers stay high enough that I am able to see them battle it out again!
