Trump queries Harris’ Blackness

CHICAGO -- Former President Donald Trump questioned Vice President Kamala Harris' identity as a Black woman Wednesday in front of an audience of Black journalists, suggesting his opponent for the presidency had adopted her racial profile as a way to gain a political advantage.

"She was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she became a Black person," he said of Harris, whose mother was Indian American, whose father is Black and who has always identified as a Black woman.

Harris is the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, both immigrants to the U.S. As an undergraduate, Harris attended Howard University, one of the nation's most prominent historically Black colleges and universities, where she pledged the historically Black sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha.
