Her mother's daughter: How Kamala Harris' speech foregrounded her childhood

Indian Americans are playing a notable role in the US presidential elections. Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy have been mentioned as candidates, while JD Vance's wife, Usha Vance, also made headlines. Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, emphasized her mother's journey from India and her influence. Harris' Indian roots continue to draw attention, with her ancestral village in Tamil Nadu showing support. Though traditionally supportive of Democrats, there is a noted decline in their support for Biden, with more identifying as independents.
