From the Daily Caller: Lamarie Austin-Stripling, a mixed-race voter from North Carolina, said during a “Morning Joe” segment on Friday that she does not “feel some kinship” with Vice President Kamala Harris.
A group of mixed-race voters, including Republican North Carolina congressional candidate Addul Ali, shared their opinions on Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election. Stripling said she only sees Harris, who herself is a mixed-race candidate, “giggling and having a girl moment” during her public appearances instead of tackling the major crises facing the U.S.
“I find a lot of [Harris’] trajectory to not be my brand of woman [or] leader,” Stripling said. “We’ve got three major international crises going on, and somebody applying to be Commander-in-Chief. As a woman, I want to see you do more than appeal to giggling and having a girl moment on the stage.”
Harris, who has a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, has branded herself as an historic candidate breaking glass ceilings, though The New York Times wrote on July 24 that her Indian heritage is “little advertised.” Indian-Americans told the Daily Caller in early August that Harris only touts her Indian heritage when it is “convenient” for her.
On the voter panel were two Republicans, two Democrats and two Independents.

Another Republican man on the panel, who is Black and Puerto Rican, said, “I just don’t think Kamala Harris has anything vested in the “Black” or “Hispanic” experience…. Going to Howard don’t make you Black.”
