- Joe Biden’s presidential campaign plans to step up engagement with Asian-American voters this fall and is betting running mate Kamala Harris’ experience as the daughter of an Indian immigrant will resonate with the fastest-growing U.S. minority population.
After Biden announced Harris as his running mate, Amit Jani, the campaign’s national director for Asian American and Pacific Islander outreach, said he saw an immediate surge of enthusiasm on social media and message boards and received calls from Asian Americans seeking to get more involved. In states such as Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia and Texas – all of which are closely contested ahead of this year’s presidential election, according to opinion polls – the AAPI population grew more than 40% between 2012 and 2018.
In an effort to win support from Indian-American voters, Trump hosted a 50,000-person “Howdy Modi” rally in Texas with visiting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year. Modi returned the favor in February, organizing a 110,000-attendee rally for Trump in India.Advocates said Harris’ background as a daughter of immigrants would resonate with Asian Americans of all ethnicities, given that two-thirds of the AAPI population are first-generation immigrants.
The pandemic has seen a rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans, with more than 2,300 incidents from March 19 to July 15, according to the Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council.
Reuters is clearly pumping Biden/Harris, however, every single picture they post is creepy
I suppose it is possible to find 20-30 Asians to vote for such a sick and perverted party...hardly a number to write home about, and certainly not nearly enough to prevent an avalanche.
Ok, are you talking of the pre candidate for president of USA that did not get enough votes, in her own party, and was forced to witdraw her candidature?
Bwaaaaahahahaha. No.
This is at least the third post today from telling us all the possible ways that Kamala Harris can help the Biden Campaign, it almost like a news organization that is supposed to be unbiased and report news has an objective in mind. Please report as you are supposed to
Hindi is starting to understand how offense it can sound to vote for someone just becase they look like you. Kamala brings best of 2 worlds yet hails from USA the melting pot where she was born. Focus on that. Hindi nation you also it's a process - America still growing 400years
Could, but won’t
You wish! FTS!
Sorry to all Indians Biden or Harris is not going to kiss Modi or RSS ass to get their vote.
I'm beginning to think there are some really good reasons why media are so focused on the color of her skin rather than the content of her character.
Breathing air back into the campaign
with Indian-USAmericans because Asia covers Japan & China, where black people aren’t popular
Vote the person not it’s nationality or ethnicity.
Im glad that you are talking about her Asian heritage which has as much to do with her as her black herritage
Next we’ll hear, “ You ain’t Asian if you don’t vote for Biden/Harris” 😑
Yes, because Asian American voters are a monolithic, non-thinking mass who would only vote for someone with Asian ethnicity and not consider anything else. What a stupid and degrading thing to say!
People will never be happy. Any excuse not vote, they must like the moron in chief denigrating them.
Because we vote based on color and ethnicity apparently? Mind Control
Glad to see people voting based on ethnicity and sex instead of merit - this is what being anti-racist/sexist looks like in the new clown world order.
This is ridiculous. No critical thinking went into this article.
I wonder who side she on China or India, that will tell the Indian votes.
What about chinese voters?
Just. Stop. Amazing how you can’t stop pushing this narrative that everyone is thrilled about her.
Nice
But wait....I thought the media said she was black. Make up your freakin mind.
As an Asian I'd say Biden is racist as FUCK.
Voting based on skin color is racist.
Trump 4 more years
America is fast becoming racist by the day... and politicians are taking full advantage of it....
Its a myth ...we all know her stand about Kashmir.
Lots Asian-American believe this woman is a radical left.
Wow She is the UN! How long will it be until you say that she has Hispanic Heritage?
yah if everyone is racist and just votes based on the colour of someones skin....
Reuters is racist.
What? I thought she was African American?
Wait...I thought she was African-American. Wasn't that the BIG promise ?
Kamala has a problem of being disingenuous, and fake. Feigning emotion when talk about issues that are affecting the people. The comes off as a flip flopper on all issues. Like she says she stands for law and order then sides with Garcetti to defund the police.
Hey way to offend Asian Americans, do you left ever have any self awareness how you offend voters and treat them as if they cannot have a mind of their own, choosing a POTUS is not about gender, race, heritage etc.
Wonder what the 18-24 year olds like about her statements about them
But yesterday she was just black! Why would they support someone who doesn’t even acknowledge them on the biggest day of her life!
Never!!!
Way to assume every race votes in a single Bloc & is easily swayed by the race of a candidate
what is she black or Jamaican? or changing as needed?
No. First RSS/Bhakts will find out whether she eats beef or not
She identifies herself as African American She is no indian
No. VP Kamala will not make a difference to Indian lives.
My wife on her way to the voting booth.
Nope!!!
Um...what has she done to the Asian-American community? Forgive me for saying this, but if we vote for someone just purely because of the candidate’s blood and skin color, doesn’t that sound a little bit...racist?
No ! Never !! In my opinion !!
A Jamaican Indian? Ok Warren.
She will soon come out as bi sexual to lock in the gay vote.
Kamla Harris has to make a big course correction if she wants to ever garner Indian American or India's support and respect. She has to distance and cut off from anti India jihadist organisations.
Translation: Asian’s are not smart enough to vote on anything other than whether the candidate looks like them. This is so dumb. Please go back to being intelligent and unbiased. You’ve been slipping a lot lately. Thanks.
Why KamalaHarris is shy about her Jamaican roots compare to Indian roots.. They are chameleons in disguise,Change the narrative as per their convenience. BidenHarris2020 wanted to win on the shoulders of Blacklivesmatter campaign.
'I was on the fence on Biden, but now that he's selected Harris for VP, I'm definitely voting for him!' (Said no one. At all. Ever.)
India 🇮🇳 KamalaHarris is not black. She is Indian 🇮🇳 Her father owns slaves. BlackLivesMatter BlackTrash think she is black! Hahaha 🤣 The AltLeft Antifa Liberal Socialist Movement is fkd up! Trump2020
Depends on her past perspective on Kashmir, India, & Hindus.
Situation in US is Such that Every Asian will vote4Joe Biden. He doesn’t need her support. But Modi is in favour of Donald Trump winning again, because during his last visit 2US he raised the slogan(ab key Bar, Trump Sardar) means,Next time also Donald Trump should win.JoeBiden
you wish
India 🇮🇳 KamalaHarrisis is not black. She is Indian 🇮🇳 Her father owns slaves. BlackLivesMatter BlackTrash think she is black! Hahaha 🤣 The AltLeft Antifa Liberal Socialist Movement is fkd up! Trump2020
It looks that Trump is heading for a 2nd term. Majority of Americans support Trump. The majority is looking for a President who PROTECTS Values long Enshrined in the Constitution, Protection against Terror, & Protection of Quality Jobs by Repatriating Jobs that were Exported.
Horseshit! Blacks and Indians in the U.S. have -- in the main -- diametrically opposed interests & political views. She has staked her ground on a 'black and progressive' identity for years now (not that it did her any good w/ black voters during the primary, of course).
How idiotic. She will be disastrous when Biden inevitably goes fully demented.
Nope !
The people of India LOVE Trump. Case closed.
Really? With Biden racist DunkinDonut Indian accent slur.
People don’t vote that way. Wake up.
In these times it should Asian-Americans have been falsely stereotyped by some Americans and it needs corrected. Those whose heritage is either Indian or Asian or the continent in total.
Is this what you think of them? Stupid people that vote base on color alone?
Na,she and Biden will knee in front of ccp. 中共走狗
Her views on Kashmir are against India.
Identity politics at its finest. VoteBlue2020 if you like being put into categories, while the left systematically tries to erase the notion that we're AllAmerican KeepAmericaGreat dont fall for this nonsense.
She is totally Anti India. No Indian Americans vote for her
But if whites claimed this they would be vile racists. How to make a racist? Claim all whites are racist for having the same feeling, but if by POC it is cultural appreciation
Not a chance! I’m Asian, and I don’t vote based on my skin color!
Also with voters who are fake or lie a lot
Has Reuters been taken over by Communists? These are the kind of headlines I remember seeing in Pravda as a child in the former USSR. Does the mainstream media have any journalistic principles left at all?
Sure. All Asians consider other “Asians“ that have been grouped together by white folks/media as one big, coherent group.
Kamala Harris's heritage should neither boost or decrease Joe Biden's number of voters. The focus should be on the candidates' political experience & their policies.
Racist headline for gaining voters
Nope... she is very much Anti India and pro China... pro left and ultra communist.... India Prefers Trump any day!!!
She's American not Indian.... Not only that... She's too much anti-Indian who hates Hindus.
Naaa...Indians are clever...they know a bullshitter a mile away
