California Senator Kamala Harris is traveling across the states, campaigning to be the next President of the United States. She said she intends to win the nomination and face President Donald Trump in November of 2020.

One voter in Iowa asked Harris what made her stand out, to which she answered that it’s her dedication toward public service.

But the for the younger people and senior voters who turned out to the Bay Area lawmaker's rallies, there seems to be more as to why Harris is an apparent frontrunner in the increasingly crowded Democratic field.

“Very excited to be here,” said one Iowa resident.

At one of Harris’ stops, there were lines down the hallways, with some people waiting for hours.

“I just thought this is someone who can answer questions and not beat around the bush,” said another Iowa voter.

At that same stop, hundreds of extra chairs were set up to accommodate the higher than expected volume of people pouring into the room.

Everywhere she's gone, Harris’ campaign rallies have drawn crowds in the thousands. In South Carolina, one event sold out 3,000 seats.

Her initial campaign announcement in her hometown of Oakland, California drew around 30,000 people.

“I think it’s because she has a good story to tell,” said 77-year-old Ellen Corwin.

Corwin, who said she finds Harris relatable, has been going to Iowa candidate campaigns for decades. She said she can see voters of all ages falling for Harris, and connecting to the candidate in an emotional way, rather than with just policy.

On the other side of the age spectrum, 11-year-old Nora Turner agrees. Nora, who aspires to be president one day herself, asked the first question at one of Harris’ Iowa town halls. She says she finds Harris optimistic and a good role model, especially being raised mostly by just her mother.

 “Her beliefs aren’t too one side of the aisle,” said Nora. "I believe she can be an inspiration to other young girls around the country and even outside of the country.”

Corwin says it’s clear Harris’ timing gave her a few solo weeks to introduce herself to the country, and create a lot of buzz around her candidacy.

"Very positive to see so many young people becoming involved in the political process,” Corwin said. “Because that wasn't always the case, and I'm tired of all of us old folks being the only ones doing the voting and the activism."

Something else heard often on the campaign trail, was that Harris, someone relatively new to the national scene, gained visibility and respect with the Kavanaugh hearings.
