Yet another reason why we should let kids rule the world…
The votes are in and kids have chosen Kamala Harris as the winner of Nickelodeon’s Kids Pick the President “Kids’ Vote” poll. Kamala Harris received 52% of the vote, followed by Donald Trump with 48%. More than 32,000 individuals cast their virtual ballot in the “Kids’ Vote” poll from Oct. 3-23. The Kids Pick the President “Kids’ Vote” is an informal non-scientific poll, meant for entertainment purposes only.
Nickelodeon’s “Kids Vote” results will be formally announced in tonight’s half-hour special, hosted by Nate Burleson (CBS Mornings, NFL Slimetime, The NFL Today) and his daughter, Mia Burleson (NFL Slimetime), premiering at 8 p.m. (ET/PT), across Nickelodeon, Paramount+, Nickelodeon YouTube, Nick.com and the Nickelodeon Pluto TV channels (Nick Pluto, 90’s Kids TV, Totally Teen). The special will also be available tomorrow on Nick On Demand.
Told from a uniquely kid-led POV, the half-hour Kids Pick the President special will platform the issues young people care about most in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Kids from all sides of the political spectrum will share their personal stories and opinions on topics, including the economy, future of AI and technology, and health.
