If elected, Harris could be the first woman, the first Indian American, the first Asian, the first Black woman and the first person of Jamaican descent to ascend to the presidency.
Kamala Harris stands on the threshold of history. If elected to succeed President Joe Biden, Harris – the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother – would not only be the first woman, but the first Indian American, the first Asian, the first Black woman and the first person of Jamaican descent to ascend to the office. And Democratic-aligned donors from all those worlds are eager to help Harris get there.
Her ascent in national politics underscores that “as a community, we really have arrived in the United States,” said Ramesh Kapur, an Indian-American businessman and veteran Democratic bundler. He said he held his first fundraiser for Harris at his Boston-area home during her successful 2016 Senate campaign. Now, Kapur is working to rally other people of Indian heritage to open their checkbooks for the roughly three-month sprint to Election Day.
