Kamala Harris signals the rise of the “climate voter”

In this year’s Iowa Democratic caucus, more than one-fifth of voters said climate was the most important factor when deciding which candidate to support, second only to healthcare. Washington governor Jay Inslee and billionaire Tom Steyer both ran on climate as their signature issue. Most candidates repeatedly mentioned climate change during debates, despite the fact that less than 10% of questions raised the issue.
