Indian-American votes important for ‘battleground states’, says DNC Chairman

The Hindu  

With about three and a half months to go for the election day, prominent Democrats urged the Indian-American community to vote this year and support presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden — emphasising his character and history of support for the India-U.S. relationship. The pitch is particularly significant in “battleground States”, and at a time when the country is highly polarised on key issues including U.S. President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, immigration and racial justice. “We lost Michigan by 10,700 votes in 2016,” Mr. Perez said making a reference to the 1,25,000 Indian-American votes in that State. The right questions Mr. Murthy also said he had weekly conversations with Mr. Biden on COVID-19 and that the Democrat was “asking the right questions” and coming up with ideas. Mr. Verma also made references to Mr. Joe Biden helping India with its neighbourhood challenges — without naming Pakistan with regard to cross-border terrorism or China with regard to changing the status of borders.
