Trump attacks Harris’ racial identity, says she opted to ‘turn Black’

Donald Trump suggested on Wednesday that Vice President Kamala Harris had decided to “turn Black” for political gain, as he attacked his Democratic White House rival during a combative interaction with African American journalists in Chicago.

The Republican former president’s inflammatory comments marked an escalation of the 78-year-old’s vitriol against Harris, whom he falsely accused of having identified as Indian but then, “all of a sudden, she made a turn, and she became a Black person”.
