Support for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid doubled among undecided voters in the swing state of Michigan, in a Jubilee Media debate.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg debated 25 undecided voters in a video shared on Jubilee Media’s YouTube, in which support for the Harris-Walz ticket doubled.
Jubilee Media is a Los Angeles based company known for their video content featuring political debates. Recent debates include Ben Shapiro vs 25 Kamala Voters, and 1 Democrat vs 25 Republicans, which are part of their Surrounded series, where one person debates multiple people.

The 2024 election is now one day away, and the Harris campaign is preparing to close out their campaign before Americans head to the polls tomorrow in the last day of voting.
Prior to the debate with Buttigieg, of the 25 voters he debated, six were leaning toward Harris, four were leaning toward Trump, five were leaning 3rd party and a majority of eleven voters were leaning toward not voting at all.
After the debate, 12 voters intended to vote for Harris with the number having doubled. Five were going to vote for Trump, six were going to vote for third parties and three intended not to vote.
“What I want voters like you to hear is, anything but a vote for her works out to being a vote for him right now. Because this is a swing state that could come down to a couple of votes per precinct. And one of those votes might be you,” Buttigieg told one participant in the debate.
One participant told Buttigieg, “I’ve lost a lot of faith in our two-party system and I want to see something different” She said that “It’s insanity,” adding “You have the same thing over and over and over again.”
He responded, “Neither party is perfect. You’ve probably been let down by your party.”
“All of us have,” he said.
“However, one of two things is about to happen. Right. Jill Stein is not going to become President of the United States. Donald Trump is, or Kamala Harris is.”
Newsweek has reached out to a representative for Buttigieg outside of normal working hours for comment.
One participant, called Alina said that: “Before hearing Pete speak today, I was going to abstain from voting. He did give me some clarity and answered some questions that I had.”
Another participant, named Lizabet said that “I am leaning more toward voting now but it’s more because of keeping the other guy out.”
A comment on the video which had been liked over four thousand times said that: “I have so much respect for Pete for doing this. Politicians should be open to this kind of real town hall. More effective than anything I’ve seen on television.”
“I wasn’t gonna vote at all actually but after hearing him, I’m pretty confident in my decision now,” one of the undecided voters said in the video.
