Either major could lead to either “end result.” Neither of those career paths (political campaigning and community organizing) gives an advantage to either major. Pick the major you like better and do better in.

What’s more important is getting internships. There are many political internships available - volunteer during this campaign cycle. There are many established summer internships in Washington DC, for example (do your research). Most state and federal politicians will have application processes for internships.

You should also look into Americorps, Peace Corps, or Teach for America programs after college (typically for 1-2 year terms).
