Kamala Harris has America focused on multiracial identity

Associated Press  

An election year that was already bitterly partisan has been completely upended by President Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 White House race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. In his first rally since Harris became the likely Democratic nominee, Republican Donald Trump repeatedly mispronounced her name as part of a broad attack on someone he called his “new victim to defeat.” And at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee earlier this month, several speakers mispronounced the vice president’s name. When Harris announced her presidential candidacy the first time in 2019, it didn’t take long for people in the Black community to question if she was “Black enough.” Some cited the fact she is Jamaican, not African American. Candidate Harris decided to address these accusations head-on by going on all-Black-hosted radio shows like “The Breakfast Club.” “I’m black, and I’m proud of being black,” Harris, then a U.S. senator, said in the 2019 radio interview. “The idea that you could get tens of thousands of Black people on a call that was organized at the last minute to talk about how are we going to support this presidential candidate, I think speaks volumes to how black grassroots activists are going to organize in support of her and how they’re organizing and embracing her as a member of their community,” Gillespie said.
