Kamala Harris’s Indian summer
The Indian vote in American politics has been a lock for the Democrats in recent years. President Obama won the group in 2008 and many of them preferred him to Mitt Romney in 2012. Likewise, Hillary Clinton won the Indian vote in something of a landslide in 2016 against President Trump. Early polling indicates that Asian Americans in general still lean Democrat. But might Joe Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris put a meaningful portion of the Indian vote up for grabs? Kamala Harris represents something historic for the Indian-American community — she is the first person with Indian ancestry to run on either party’s presidential ticket. The Biden campaign have been quick to capitalize on this, forming an 'Indians for Biden' National Council.
