NEW YORK -- Former Vice President Kamala Harris is to receive the NAACP 's Chairman's Award during the civil rights organization's Image Awards ceremony this weekend. Harris, defeated by Donald Trump in last year's presidential election, was the first woman and the first person of color to serve as vice president. She had previously been a U.S. senator from California and the state's attorney general. “Vice President Kamala Harris is more than a leader — she is a force of change, driven by an unwavering passion to shape a brighter, more equitable future. It is with great honor that we...

Saturday on CNN’s “Smerconish” a video was played showing multiple black men in a Dauphin County, PA barbershop questioning whether Vice President Kamala Harris is black. CBS reporter Joel Smith asked, “Is Kamala gonna make you a little more likely or less likely to vote Democrat?” One of the men asked, “Hold on is Kamala black, yes or no?” A man next to him said, “I’ll let her speak on that, but to me, no.” Another man in the group said, “I share that same view.” A fourth man said, “I heard she wasn’t. I heard she’s half black and...

White America has long sought to define racial categories — and who can belong to them.

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec “So is she Indian or is she black? I respect either one…she obviously doesn’t” From Greg Price 2:19 PM · Jul 31, 2024

Former President Donald Trump launched a racially insensitive attack against presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris on Wednesday, falsely questioning her racial background in a contentious appearance in Chicago. During a panel discussion at the conference of the National Association of Black Journalists, the Republican nominee for president said his opponent for the White House "happened to turn Black" a number of years ago. Asked about some Republicans labeling Harris as a "DEI hire," Trump, after bickering with ABC's Rachel Scott over the definition of DEI, responded: "I've known [Harris] a long time indirectly, not directly, very much. And she was...

Claim: Her political opponents are sharing a screenshot supposedly comparing two Associated Press headlines — one from 2016 and another from 2020. Associated Press headlines referred to Kamala Harris as Indian American in 2016 then Black in 2020. Rating: TRUE On July 24, 2024, an apparent screen capture of a post from former U.S. President Donald Trump circulated online showing two alleged Associated Press (AP) headlines, one from 2016 and the other from 2020. The two headlines centered on Vice President Kamala Harris. The first one said Harris was the first "Indian-American US senator" while the second said she was...

During a campaign rally in Georgia, Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to unleash a new accent, leading many people to draw comparisons to when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used a southern accent. “And, you all helped us win in 2020, and we gon do it again in 2024,” Harris said as she spoke to the crowd in what appeared to be a southern accent. “Yes, we will.” “Not sure what accent she was going for but that’s not how anyone in Atlanta sounds,” one person wrote in a post on X. “New accent just dropped,” another person wrote....

The unknown factor is Kamala Harris's primary advantage for now. It doesn’t gloss over that the 2024 Democratic Party ticket is a ratship in total disarray. The unity cited incessantly on MSNBC is a manufactured media narrative where little is grounded in reality. If there is a coalescing around the vice president, these loyal soldiers have no choice but to back her because who else is there? Harris dropped out before the 2020 Iowa Caucuses. No Democratic primary voter has ever voted for her. Again, the lion's share of the party backs her because there is no other choice. Democrats...

ATLANTA -- Black voters expressed a mix of hope and worry Monday over Joe Biden’s exit from the presidential race and the prospect of Vice President Kamala Harris becoming the Democratic nominee. A key Democratic constituency, Black voters helped power Biden to victory in the 2020 primaries and ultimately to the White House, and they were among his most steadfast supporters, even as calls for him to quit grew. But as much pride as some Black Americans feel about the possibility of Harris, who is of Black and Indian descent, becoming president, the upending of the race has some voters...

Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be the next president of the United States, noting that the job of the president “is a Black job.” In a post on X, Moore posted a photo of himself standing next to Harris, writing that Trump was “about to find out” the job of the President of the United States was a black job. “Donald Trump is about to find out being the President of the United States is a Black job,” Moore wrote.

@Red_Pill_US Poof...It's magic 😭

The New York Times (NYT) editorial board wants Vice President Kamala Harris off the 2024 ticket because of “profound concerns” about her electability. The push to dump the nation’s first black vice president was posted just after President Joe Biden announced he would not run in the 2024 election — and it could threaten Democratic turnout in November. The board first provided some throat-clearing praise for Biden: By agreeing to step down when his term ends in January, he is greatly increasing the chance that his party is able to protect the nation from the dangers of returning Donald Trump...

Vice President Kamala Harris made history once again by becoming the first woman and Asian American to gain presidential power after President Joe Biden underwent a routine colonoscopy on Friday morning, according to the White House. Transfer of power: Harris, the first Black and South Asian vice president of the United States, became the commander in chief for nearly an hour and a half. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement that Harris took on presidential duties in her West Wing office while Biden, 78, went under anesthesia for the procedure around 9 a.m. local time at...

For a few minutes yesterday, a portion of POLITICO's profiles about Joe Biden's potential Vice President picks had Kamala Harris listed as the choice, including a quote from the announcement.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) is seen as the favorite as Joe Biden nears a decision on his vice presidential pick. Harris would be the first Black woman and Indian American woman to be nominated on a major party’s presidential ticket, and she battled with Biden memorably on the debate stage more than a year ago. Harris wouldn’t put a new state in play. She represents California, the largest electoral prize on the map but one that is completely safe for Democrats. Yet many see her as the least risky pick for Biden, who is under pressure to select a woman...
