Only a few months are left for the US presidential election. Both Republican candidate Donald Trump and his Democratic Party rival Kamala Harris have geared up to win this election. The series of allegations and counter-allegations has also reached its peak. But in the meantime, Trump has raised questions about Kamala Harris’s racial identity.
Trump has questioned Kamala Harris’s racial identity and said that she is deliberately trying to capitalize on her black identity. Addressing the National Association of Black Journalists Convention in Chicago, Trump said that she (Kamala Harris) always described herself as belonging to India. She used to promote Indian heritage. But now she has suddenly become black. Since when did she become black? Now she wants to be recognized as black.
Trump said that I don’t know whether she is Indian or black? I respect both Indians and blacks but I don’t think Harris has any respect for them? Because she was always Indian and used to call herself connected to India but now she has suddenly become black.
