Ramalee Austin Stripling, a biracial voter from North Carolina, said she “doesn't feel a kinship” with Vice President Kamala Harris on “Morning Joe” on Friday.
a mixed-race group of voters; include North Carolina Republican congressional candidate Adul Ali shared his thoughts on Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election. Stripling said Harris, a biracial candidate herself, spends her time in public “giggling and having her girly moments” rather than addressing the major crises facing the United States.
“I have a lot of [Harris’] My Women's Brand Not Orbit [or] “As a leader, you're facing three major international crises, you've got someone running for commander in chief, and as a woman, I want you to do more than get on stage for laughs and have feminine moments,” Stripling said.

Harris, who has a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, has positioned herself as a historic candidate who will break the glass ceiling, but the New York Times Written On July 24, Harris said her Indian roots are “not promoted very much.” An Indian American told the Daily Caller in early August that Harris only promotes her Indian roots when it “convenient” for her.

While attending the National Association of Black Journalists' convention on July 31, Trump said he did not know Harris was black, claiming she had always identified as Indian until she wanted to be “known” as black.
“Well, I would say no, maybe a little bit different,” Trump said. “I've known her indirectly for a long time, but not much directly. She's always been Indian, and she's just promoted her Indian ancestry. I didn't know she was black until a few years ago, when she happened to be black, and now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know if she's Indian or black.”
“I respect both of those people,” Trump continued, as one of the hosts fired back, “and I respect both of those people, but she clearly doesn't, because she started out as Indian all along and then all of a sudden she turns around and becomes black.”
Voters in the battleground state of Wisconsin thought Harris may have lied about her origins while speaking with ABC News host Martha Raddatz on Sunday.
Former CNN host Don Lemon and Grio White House correspondent April Ryan had a heated debate on CNN on February 12, 2019 about whether Harris is “black” or “African-American.” Lemon argued that Harris is not African-American because her father is from Jamaica.
Harris denied reports that she is not African-American. exterior Appeared on “The Breakfast Club” broadcast on February 11, 2019.
