I am trying to clone my linux usb live persistence from 32GB drive to 64 GB drive. After I clone it, there are some unallocated space (32GB). I have done some research but I still cannot figure it out. Below are the things that I tried.
I booted from the old USB and use cfdisk to check the partition
It says that there are unallocated free 32GB on my new USB drive so I used resize to resize the /dev/sdb3 from 20 GB to 54.3G as shown .
Disk: /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb3 6281216 120127487 113846272 54.3G 83 Linux
when I use fdisk -l to check the partition it tells me it has 54.3GB in the partition

Please paste text as text (not as pictures), it is easier to read that way (not just for blind people). And Why kali? Kali is hard to use (much like a swiss army chain-saw). kali has one purpose, and this is not it. You say you are new to Gnu/Linux, therefore kali is not for you.

It sounds like you extended/increased the size of the partition but did not notify the filesystem that there was more space for it to use.
xfs_growfs or xfs_admin with the right flags should let you inform the filesystem that it can grow to fill the additional space.
This sort of thing can be tricky on a liveOS booting from a USB. It is often easier to install the liveOS fresh on the new device and copy your data over.
