Mumbai-born author Salman Rushdie has endorsed Kamala Harris’s candidacy for United States’ presidency and said he believes she is the person who can prevent former president Donald Trump from dragging the country towards authoritarianism.
Salman Rushdie extended his support and endorsement of U.S. Vice President Harris during a virtual ‘South Asian Men for Harris’ event attended by scores of leading names from the Indian-American community, including prominent law-makers, authors, policy experts, entrepreneurs and diaspora organisations.
“It’s a critical moment. I’m a boy from Bombay and it’s great to see an Indian woman running for the White House. And my wife is African-American, so we like the fact that a Black and Indian woman is running for the White House,” Rushdie said.
