What do Indian-Americans in California think of Kamala Harris? | DW News

Wherever Kamala Harris’ presidential candidacy goes, hers is already a professional and political journey shattering ceilings and blazing trails. Her ascendancy marks the growing political clout of Indian-Americans in the country, and potential divides. It is a group that recently surpassed Chinese Americans to become the largest Asian group in the US among people who identify with one country of origin, and are the wealthiest and most highly educated origin group among Asian-Americans on average. A tight race means that the Indian-American vote matters. The Pew Research Center says that 68% of Indian-Americans identify as Democrats and 29% as Republicans – but does that mean they’re all in on Kamala Harris?

California big cities usually vote blue. Very liberal, centrists, and large asian educated networks

[reasonablehuman]

he came to the US with 2 suitcases because that's what airlines allow. almost everyone goes to a new country with 2 suitcases.

[prabhdeepdhahan]

I vote based on the content of someone's character not the color of their skin.

[topsingles]

'the wealthiest and most highly educated origin group among Asian-Americans on average'. Average does not say the true story. Indian Americans are stereotyped.They used to be stereotyped by politicians as 'the model community'. There are many low income Indian Americans working in Indian stores, restaurants, and as truck and taxi drivers.

As a Indian resident we do not support Kamala Harris or anyone on the basis of he/she is Indian

As an Indian, I'm more impressed with Vivek's performance as a politician. Since he's not contesting, I'd probably sir this election

[teachermakensonpierremedin]

Even Vance's wife will vote for Kamala Harris

[jgonga]

Who cares, none of that is going to pay the average person's bills or give opportunities to provide for their families. There is only one candidate who is good for the economy and that's who i'm voting for.

[TitoMaximus]

False news, Indian Americans will vote Republican this time

[ShyamKumar-zhoq]

If Kamala becomes the president then I will think of moving back to India

[subhadeepdey]

As an Indian we don't claim her.
Trump all the way

[derekmoss]

Great hearing the focus on unity. We need more of this.

[marcusf]

😂she’s also Of Jamaican Heritage but business as usual

[dnskvlg]

How much importance she gives to India and its culture is yet to be seen.

[ShikharSharma-vl]

As an Indian-american I can confirm that we don't support Harris.

[moviereative]

no matter what your race are, important is to be fair to everyone

[abelincoln]

President Kamala Harris 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

[sleepyatdawn]

I love listening to Indian Americans saying they need to control immigration from coming in. The cherry on top of the cake is that Republicans vetoed the border bill they proposed.
