Kamala Harris gains support in Jamaican and Indian communities

Thanks to her views on immigration policies and reform, Democratic senator from California Kamala Harris has a promising fan base in Jamaican and Indian communities across America.

In recent months, growing groups of Harris supporters from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds have started sprouting up across the nation. Their sole purpose is to get her elected in the 2020 presidential race, on a platform of unity through diversity. They feel that she is the candidate that bests represents all people, because her own background includes traces of several continents: Africa, Asia, and Europe.

Supporters feel a kindred cultural spirit and it may translate not only into votes during election time, but key pockets of fundraising.

“She’s our DNA, so we are excited. I’m sure it’s how the Catholics must have felt when Jack Kennedy was nominated and became president,” Ramesh Kapur, a longtime Democratic donor, told CNN. Kapur is also planning a fundraiser in Harris’ honor to he held on April 28 in Cleveland, Ohio.
