Former President Donald Trump came under fire for questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’s identity at a Black journalists’ convention. Trump suggested that Harris only recently started identifying as Black and questioned whether she is Indian or Black. This controversial statement was deemed “repulsive” and “insulting” by the White House.
Harris, who has faced sexist and racist attacks since launching her White House campaign, has long identified as both Black and South Asian. Despite these attacks, Harris has gained momentum in the race for the White House, erasing Trump’s lead in several key swing states. Recent polls show Harris leading Trump in four battleground states.
The vice president, who is expected to be the Democratic Party’s 2024 candidate, has emphasized the importance of defeating Trump and moving forward as a country. Harris’s campaign has received strong support, with $200 million raised and 170,000 new volunteers signed up since its launch. She has also received the endorsement of the influential United Auto Workers union.
As the election race heats up, Harris continues to paint Trump as a threat to the American people, while rallying supporters with her campaign slogan “We are not going back.” With the election nearing, the momentum seems to be shifting in Harris’s favor, as she gathers support from various sectors and works to solidify her position as the Democratic nominee for 2024.
