During an appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago, former President Donald Trump falsely suggested that Vice President Kamala Harris had misled voters about her race. Trump wrongly claimed that Harris, the first Black woman and Asian American to serve as vice president, had previously only promoted her Indian heritage. This statement by Trump sparked controversy and divided opinions within the group's membership.
In response to Trump's comments, Harris dismissed them as the 'same old show' and emphasized the importance of Black women organizing to defeat him in the upcoming election. Trump, who did not repeat his claims at a rally in Pennsylvania, also repeatedly mispronounced Harris' first name during his appearance.
