Kamala Harris Honors Grandparents' Day with Heartfelt Tribute: 'Their Fight for a Better Future Lives on in Me

Washington DC, September 9:
On this, the day celebrating grandparents, US Vice President Kamala Harris wrote a touching letter to her grandparents, expressing her gratitude for their legacy of public service and their struggles for a better world. On Sunday, Harris wrote about her grandmother, who advocated for women's access to birth control, and her grandfather, a retired public servant who had participated in the fight for India's independence.

"When I was a little girl visiting my grandparents in India, my grandpa would take me for walks on his morning walks and talk about how important it is to stand up against corruption and for equality. " She wrote about this in an X post. He had been involved in the fight for India's freedom and was now a retired public worker. Carrying a bullhorn in her horn, my grandma traversed India to inform women about the availability of birth control. I will always be grateful for their selfless dedication to serving the people and their battle for a better tomorrow. To all the grandparents out there who have an impact on the lives of their grandchildren, I hope you have a happy National Grandparents Day.

After President Joe Biden withdrew from the race because to growing worries about his age, especially following his dismal performance in the June debate with Donald Trump, Harris was nominated as the Democratic candidate.

With her 59 years of experience under her belt, Harris would break historical records as the first woman to serve as president of the United States. In the history of the United States, no major political party has ever nominated a female candidate for president before the vice president.

During an interview with CNN's top political correspondent Dana Bash that took place earlier on August 30, Harris was asked about the racial assaults made by Donald Trump, including his statement that his opponent "wasn't Black enough".

After that, Harris seemed to be at a loss for words and indicated that she did not want the topic to take up too much of her time on air by shaking her head.

"Same old, tired playbook," Harris replied.

"Next question, please."

"That's it?" As for Bash's question, "That's it," Harris answered directly.

In a scathing personal assault on August 1, former US President Donald Trump claimed that Harris, who had long been identified as having "Indian heritage," "turned Black" a few years ago, adding insult to injury. She was only ever advocating for Indian culture; she had always been of Indian descent. Until she suddenly turned black a few years ago—and now that she wants to be known as black—I had no idea she was Black. Therefore, I am confused; is she Black or Indian?"
