Debunking Trump's False Claims About Kamala Harris' Identity

SOURCE www.factcheck.org
Former President Donald Trump falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris only recently began identifying as Black, which is untrue. Harris has always identified as both Indian American and Black. Trump's attempts to revive bogus claims from 2020 have been debunked with evidence from Harris' autobiography and historical profiles. Harris' background reflects a strong connection to both her Indian and Black heritage, and she has consistently embraced both identities throughout her life.
