Harris’s campaign confronted with racist and sexist attacks.
Donald Trump is under scrutiny for questioning whether Kamala Harris is “Black” during an interview with Black journalists. Harris, of Indian and Jamaican heritage, identifies as both Black and Asian and is the first Black and Asian American U.S. vice president.
Since announcing her White House bid, Harris has faced sexist and racist attacks online, with some far-right figures questioning her racial identity. Republican leaders have urged focus on policy rather than personal attacks, but the comments have provoked a strong response from the White House and its Press Secretary. #Trending
