Vaishnav talked about the issues important to Indian American voters and how campaigns are reaching out. Here are excerpts from the interview:The top three issues across the board were the state of the economy, health care and racism and racial discrimination.
A person might look broadly and say, OK, 1% of the electorate spread throughout the country. The Indian American vote doesn't really matter. It's not a swing vote, for example. Any truth to that? We're seeing it in an unprecedented way this election. I mean, both the Trump and the Biden campaigns have cut television and online ads just for this demographic.
You guys are really biased, where were you when the democratic senators like DickDurbin were harassing Indian Immigrants and denying them equality ? S386
Still NO REPORT? NO MENTION? No information to your gullible NPR listerners that Trump brokered the Third middle east peace deal this yesr? FakeNews
if you are going to play the race card, a trump-modi relationship can't beat kamala's late mother being from madras. but indian americans are more concerned with the economy and will do the traditional 'save us from the gop recession and kick start the economy again' vote
My Indian clients are supporting Trump, where and who are you polling?
thevirdas , it makes my heart sing that racist nationalism won’t win in the end.
Of course not. Indians predominantly want to move out of their country and live in the west. Trump talks about restricting H1-b immigration. That is heresy for a country that mass-produces IT workers that work for HALF the pay that Americans would otherwise demand.
Rich n crooks only, in America.
Hindutva fascism and racism is directly tied to trump. Also our disaster here in Hawai'i, called Tulsi Gabbard.
Gee, it's almost like expecting people to base their decisions off countries they don't live in is racist stupidity
My piece about this:
a lot of Indians are here because Modi is a complete fucking asshole, so this makes a lot of sense to me.
Trump called India filthy ...remember that modi (RSS) lovers.
Modi trafficks in nationalism. This “works” if you’re an Indian in India. Doesn’t work if you’re of Indian descent in the US. IOW, Indian-Americans aren’t part of the majority in the US so are on the wrong color line of advocates of US nationalism.
Everyone is being driven to the republican party after the Democrats stayed mostly quite on the riots.

I love to hear that
Source of the survey cited - Carnegie Endowment is an Alt-Left Globalization Effort with a long colorful history of associating with like-minded leftists-globalists...
It should if they want to live in a prosperous US! Geniuses
Your biased surveys are worthless. DefundNPR
Trump's well-known anti-H1B position would make Indian support a bit counterintuitive. But then again, his supporters are not renowned for their intelligence.
No not really, dem block has exploited millions of indians to Max & are opportunist at every turn! So you can stop writing this BS!! s386
They trust the person that can pronounce Sen. Harris's name correctly.💛
You really feel that Indian citizens are ignorant?
Maybe because they’re American. Do we wonder if the UK prime minister’s friendship with trump will influence Americans with English ancestry?
Might be because Modi is just as divisive as Trump. Democracy is dying in India.
He called India filthy less than 2 weeks ago.
Indian-Americans are gonna love the off-the-hook Diwali party next year at the White House. Fun Fact: Just learned what that is yesterday and it looks like a blast.
Yea, we hate Modi. He’s literally the Indian version of Trump.
Modi is as divisive as Trump.
That’s reaching
I saw a poll today that had a breakout for Asian voters in MN - 98 to 2 for Biden - so it's not just India.
I wouldn’t trust anything that reports. Fake news peddlers of the worst kind. I can bet the fact that they chose to write an article on this subject suggests that the opposite is true.
Acha!!!!!
Face it - the GOP is down to a single demographic: white Evangelical Christians. Once you accept that, the media will be able to accurately report on the GOP’s ACTUAL core values, and they ain’t got nothing to do with taxes or small government.
Just as Americans abroad overwhelmingly prefers Biden over Trump, Modi isn’t as popular among Indians in America as he is back in India
LOL😂Trump2020
NPR is a joke. My sis family voted Dems in Midterms. This time they r keen. Not just them many of her Indian neighbors in PA. Give me 1 reason to support Dems . Party of Dick Durbin'. Biden hates hardworking legal high skilled immigrants. Harris forgot her own bill s386
No... We aren't voting for Biden, you are mistaken and misled. Indian-Americans see Trump as better leader than Biden.
The problem with surveys is: many Trump voters are not honest.
DesisForBiden
Thank you!
That's quite a turn from the Nimrata Haley Hindutva thugs that dominated their bloc for the last few years.
Even more reason to stop immigration. They do not share traditional American values. Every immigrant group wants to change the US into the shithole that they came from.
krupali Stop misguiding your readers. Everyone I know (registered Democrats) cannot stand Biden-Harris for their radical socialism.
. Do you know, Skilled Immigrants from India, face a discrimination.Our issues, concerns are of no importance, not even once wrote abt PassS386 but you continue to spread false propaganda abt Indian Americans? S386
Greetings NPR & followers, Are you aware of the discrimination high-skilled Indian immigrants face to a level that they are essentially banned from becoming citizens? Learn more👇
Oh! come on. You never wrote about the GCBacklog problem that Indians are facing. You never raised a concern when SenatorDurbin blocked the Fairness bill S386 when Indians were suffering with this block. UnblockS386
FANTASTIC!
Not that long ago, realDonaldTrump said India is 'filthy.'
theaerogram SAforBiden
theaerogram The election is not in 7 days. The election is OVER in 7 days. VOTE EARLY, VOTE NOW vote VoteEarly VoteHealth BidenHarris2020
And Kamala Harris, the first East Asian person ever on a major party ticket.
NPR write about S386. That is what Indian Americans want.
Trump intentionally stopped family immigration (COVID), which results spillover to EB and many are filing I-485, but his intentional delay of I-485 processing could lose all the 260K Visa's will be wasted if they can't process b4 Sep 2021. Main intention is Visa's will be wasted.
Justice Kagan had never served as a judge but President Obama nominated her to the Supreme Court
Awwww...see NPR is writing about Indian-Americans. But they failed to highlight (like we don’t exist) all these times that democratic whip Senator Durbin single-handedly held a bill from passing for 10 whole months. Why now we matter to NPR? 🤥
What makes you think that biden will give you visas!
How do you guys justify on this, when many of the legal immigrants reached out to talk about GCbacklog and S386 there was no response. When SenatorDurbin was blocking the bill no one came to rescue.
i don't think so.don't lie

Bad headline, Indian PM had close relationships with both Obama and Trump and he really valued the democratic process of the country and never questioned the American people’s judgment
That can not be true.
I know of a large and potentially decisive voting bloc of Indian Americans that are overwhelmingly voting for Donald Trump this election.
NPR will try to blame everyone else but White people (the LARGEST voting bloc) if Biden loses. These headlines need to be read carefully.
ReturnBallotsNow VoteThemOut
I know I am and so is rest of family
This is not surprising. Every single Indian American I have come across, have shared how disgusting they feel about Trump. They know very well how an arrogant corrupt politician can screw up the nation. Since they have seen a bunch of their own in India.
There is not ONE story on NPR's website about Amy Coney Barrett. That is truly unbelievable. Wow. Shouldn't that be the main story?
I thought these people were supposed to be smart. Why would they vote for an unqualified, unmotivated socialist?
Hey, this is pretty racist This is the same dual-loyalties BS that Jews face with Israel
A huge number of Indian-Americans are here due to STEM, and the war on science & expertise is not sitting well with us. Another fun fact: Kamala means a lotus flower, which is the symbol of Modi's party in India. Will take Modi all of 10 seconds to bring that up.
Nearly every asylum seeker in the federal prison in Sheridan, Or was from India. Of course the community won’t vote Trump.
Another JoeBiden campaign add by 2020Election
They are smart
If you only ask your own reporters that is not a survey
NPR has really just become garbage over the last decade. Its disappointing.
Cameeelliaaa THAT TRUMP MOODI STUNT Had me scared! Hahahahaha YALL PULLED UP ON THIS BITCH!!!! ahaha
good
Oops... I guess voting for the candidate who’d lower business taxes in 2016 back-fired 🤦🏾♂️
And there are many in the US that still love Trump like they love themselves some Modi
Thank you India and Indians. We love you. Question: are the 22% supporting racist-in-chief cos of the joint hatred of Muslims amongst some Hindus and Republicans?
Not surprising at all after the way Trump has set his sights on H1B
DineshDSouza sort this shit out
Joe is still losing the electoral college. WAKE UP!!!!
Wow, I didn't know that Indians were big fans of corruption!?!?! I guess you learn something new every day...unless of course you listen to NPR!
Nah they are voting for trump
Hmm. What might be the difference between Biden and Hillary that would drive a decision like that for Indian Americans. Go ahead...say it.
Yes.. They are NOT idiots. They can see the racism, Discrimination and voter supression in GOP...
Indian Americans are smart, hard working people. They know Trump isn’t.

So much for a secret ballot. We shouldn't know these things. And reporting it beforehand could be seen as interference.
I have worked with many Indian people who are here on work visas and are in the middle of the green card process. Things have only become harder for them under Trump, so I am not surprised that Indians with citizenship are for Biden.
The so called evidence provided so far for a natural origin of COVID-19 comes from a single highly biased study in Nature, the Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2. At least two authors are getting money from China. One is honored by CCP. The virus was made & leaked from a PLA lab.
So you are telling that Nikki's gathering with the Indian community didn't work? Shocked.
More than happy to smack down anyone who thinks the people trying to cut off H-1Bs is good because tax breaks 🙄 Rs cut the SALT deduction ffs
That’s what I’m mf talking about
Weird its almost like an ethnic group that traditionally highly values education trends away from Trump
Well done.
