Former President Donald Trump has made controversial remarks questioning Vice President Kamala Harris's racial identity during an event for Black journalists, stating he was unaware of her Black heritage until recently and implying she had previously identified primarily with her Indian heritage. His comments drew immediate backlash from the audience and critics, highlighting a pattern of Trump using race to create divisions among Americans. In response, Harris emphasized the importance of unity and authenticity in leadership, while the White House called Trump's remarks 'disgusting' and 'insulting'. Trump also mocked Harris at a rally, deriding her endorsement call from Barack and Michelle Obama as staged and criticizing her performance as vice president. Additionally, he has adopted the nickname 'Crazy Kamala' for Harris, a tactic seen as projection of his own controversies. This ongoing exchange reflects escalating tensions in the political climate as the presidential election approaches.
