The trip gave her a unique glimpse of how Democratic voters are feeling on the eve of an election that she considers to be the most consequential in her lifetime.

“If the stakes weren’t so high, I wouldn’t be doing this,” she said. “But it’s not that way for everyone. When I am knocking on folks’ doors, I hear people say ‘We’re not political, we don’t vote’ just as much as I hear people say ‘Of course, I’m supporting Democrats.’”

Her schedule kept her constantly moving. At times, she drove through the night to spend a day canvassing in another state. Each afternoon, she walked into a campaign office in a place she’d never been before, and asked for a packet. She knocked on doors all afternoon, returned the packet, and drove on. If her canvass ended early, she made calls from her cellphone for Democratic candidates.

Her political trek, which she chronicled on Instagram, gave her moments she’ll never forget: Getting bitten by a dog in Ohio. Listening to a voter’s conspiracy theories in Pennsylvania. Watching a woman’s eyes well up with tears in New Hampshire, as she expressed her fear that her diabetic son would not be able to afford insulin in the future.

The landscape outside her window changed dramatically as she drove from Michigan, where she canvassed for Gretchen Driskell, to Tennessee, where she attended a rally for the Senate candidate Phil Bredesen, to Arizona, where she got out the vote for Kyrsten Sinema. But the issues stayed remarkably consistent.

“My glove box is full of fliers,” she said. “Health care is the first thing on almost all of them.”

The hardest thing about the trip wasn’t camping by the side of the road, or mastering the platforms of dozens of candidates well enough to persuade voters to support them. It was hearing from people who had given up on politics altogether.

“There have been a couple of people who said ‘I’m not voting, I’m so sick of this nonsense,’” she said. “I feel really badly that our political institutions have failed people to that point. I shared my story with them, and why I was sticking with it despite the nonsense. Maybe on Election Day, something compels them to go and vote.”
