Former President Donald Trump has launched sharp and false attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, questioning her racial identity. Trump falsely claimed that Harris changed her racial identity and accused her of opportunism.

These attacks have sparked concerns among Republicans about the divisive direction of Trump's campaign. In response, Harris has chosen to focus on important issues like abortion, economic inequality, and protection of democracy, rather than engaging with Trump's lies.

She has defended her Black and South Asian heritage and emphasized the need for better leadership. This controversy comes as Harris has made a conscious decision to share her personal story and lineage, reshaping her vice presidency and laying the groundwork for her campaign against Trump.

The recent visit to Ghana was also significant, as it aimed to deepen America's ties with the continent and strengthen Harris's connection to her African roots.
