How 7 out of 8 undecided PA voters changed their minds after Harris’ DNC speech: CNN

On Thursday night, August 23 — following speeches by everyone from conservative former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Illinois) to Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to the Rev. Al Sharpton — Vice President Kamala Harris gave her acceptance speech at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

CNN's Gary Tuchman spoke to a group of eight undecided voters in Allentown, Pennsylvania in the hope of gauging whether or not they were swayed by Harris' speech.

When Tuchman asked if they "were ready to make a commitment after today," seven hands went up. And six of them said they would be voting for Harris, while a voter named Brian (who works in real estate) said he would be voting for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

A voter named Lindsey remained uncommitted, telling CNN, "Still probably not voting." Asked if she "didn't like either of them," Lindsey responded, "Nope."

Allentown voter Scott said of Harris, "I really liked her confidence. She really seemed presidential…. She spoke from her heart."

Tuchman asked them to grade Harris' speech on an A-F scale. Three voters gave her an A, while three gave her a B+. Harris also received one B and 1 C.

Voter Donna said she gave Harris an A because she "hit all the points that I wanted to know about."

"I wanted to know more about her, her economic policies, foreign policy," Donna told Tuchman, adding that Harris "looked very presidential."

Brian said he gave Harris a C because she "wasn't clear enough on the policies."

Patrick, a United Auto Workers (UAW) member, gave Harris a B+, saying that she could have been more "in depth."
