Trump Remarks on Harris Spark Broad Debate

Senator JD Vance defended former President Donald Trump's remarks questioning Vice President Kamala Harris' racial identity, calling her a 'chameleon' during a press conference in Arizona. Trump, at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) conference, claimed Harris only recently began identifying as Black for political advantage, a statement the White House denounced as repulsive. Critics argue these attacks are part of Trump’s long history of racially insensitive comments. Meanwhile, Harris has consistently embraced her mixed-race heritage, emphasizing pride in her Black identity. The controversy has sparked a broader debate over Harris' authenticity and the usage of race in political discourse.
