Before Biden dropped out, Florida swing voters told Axios they were open to Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.
Why it matters: In ourJune focus group with Engagious/Sago, nine of 13 participants — who voted for Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020 — said they would vote for Harris if she were picked to run against Trump and other candidates on the ballot.
While a focus group is not a statistically significant sample like a poll, the responses show how some voters are thinking and talking about current events.
The group included five Democrats, three Republicans and five independents.
What they're saying: "I just haven't seen her around as much in the four years of being vice president, but I mean, it can't be worse than the other option," said participant Marie C., referring to former President Trump.
Zoom in: Some Florida swing voters said they would support Harris because of the opportunity to make history if she won the White House.
