US Election 2020: How will Indian-origin Nikki Haley be able to challenge Kamala Harris
“Joe Biden and the Democrats still oppose America First (the Americans first interest).” Donald Trump puts America first. He should choose the president for another four years. “
“Under the leadership of Donald Trump, we did what Barack Obama and Joe Biden could not. We stood for America … We have stood against our enemies. “
“America is not a racist country. This is my personal experience. I am the proud daughter of Indian immigrants. He came to America and settled in a small southern city. The people of South Carolina made me the first minority and female governor. “
At the National Convention of the Republican Party of America, Republican leader Nikki Haley strongly supported President Donald Trump with these words.
In a nearly nine-and-a-half minute speech on Monday, he attacked Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden on domestic and foreign issues and praised Donald Trump’s policies.
He reiterated the words of US Ambassador to the United Nations, Jean Kirk Patrick, in 1984, stating that since then, Democrats have been opposing the policy of America First (Americans first).
Nikki Haley praised Donald Trump’s decisions and achievements on the issues of North Korea, Iran, Israel, and China as part of the US First Policy.
He said that “President Trump has established a record of strength and success.” Former Vice President Joe Biden has shown weakness and failure. He proved to be good for Iran and ISIS, great for Communist China, and God for whoever wanted to degrade and harm America. “
According to Nikki, “Donald Trump, leaving weak in the case of North Korea, imposed strong restrictions on him. He broke the nuclear deal with Iran. He was tough on China and won ISIS. He also gave the country the level of economy. Took forward while Joe Biden followed.
Why Nikki Haley is important
There has been a discussion about the appointment of American citizen of Indian origin Nikki Haley as the President and Vice-Presidential candidate, but currently she is not contesting for any post.
Despite this, they are getting special importance in the US elections. They can be projected by making them the important face of the party.
The reason for this is being told to Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential vice-presidential candidate.
About 40 lakh 50 thousand people of Indian origin live in America. Despite being less in number, his influence in politics is increasing.
According to Joe Biden’s election campaign, there are about 13.1 lakh American Indian voters in the US whose trends can prove to be decisive in eight constituencies.
At the same time, according to an assessment by the Trump Victory Indian American Finance Committee, “About half of the Indian American voters can go in favor of Trump rather than Biden.”
In such a situation, both parties are trying to woo Indian American voters. Kamla Harris of Indian origin is being said to be the main reason for the election.
The Republican Party has re-nominated Mike Pence as vice-presidential candidate. But on the issue of Indian Americans, he could not become a direct challenge to Kamala Harris. In such a situation, Nikki Haley has emerged as an option for Republicans.
This is also indicated by Nikki Haley’s speech given at the national convention.
In the convention, he said, “America is racist, to say that it has become fashionable in the Democratic Party.” that’s a lie. America is not a racist country. This is my personal experience. I am the proud daughter of Indian expatriates … My father used to wear a turban. My mother wore a sari. I was a brown girl among black and white people. “
“We faced discrimination and difficulties. But my parents never complained and hated me. My mother built a successful business. My father taught at Black College for 30 years and the people of South Carolina made me the first minority and female governor. “
Nikki Haley through her personal experiences has particularly raised the Indian American identity.
