CHICAGO — The daughter of a Jamaican father and Indian mother, both immigrants, Kamala Harris reflects the United States' changing demographics.When she steps onto the stage Thursday evening in Chicago to accept the Democratic Party's nomination as their presidential candidate, she will represent the country's fastest growing racial category.Some 42 million Americans now identify as multiracial, or 13% of the country, according to the US Census Bureau.
"When you have individuals who carry multiple experiences in the same person, that's an asset," said Representative Maxwell Frost, who is Lebanese, Puerto Rican and Haitian, speaking at a Politico event on the sidelines of the convention. "That enhances her ability to legislate and advocate" on behalf of a broad range of Americans.The Harris campaign did not respond to a request for comment, nor did spokespeople for Trump.
