Education – The Christian Science Monitor – CSMonitor.com
Education is a key issue in the 2024 US presidential race, particularly for Black voters. Despite not being a main campaign focus, debates around school choice, civil rights, and Project 2025 are prevalent. Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate is ex-teacher, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Education issues, such as child care and student loan debt, may gain prominence as candidates seek to appeal to working-class voters. Walz’s inclusion has energized the teacher voting bloc, but education’s role in the election outcome remains uncertain.
