Rushdie endorses Harris for US prez run – Times of India

Author Salman Rushdie has endorsed Kamala Harris‘s candidacy for the US prez elections and said he believes she is the person who can prevent ex-prez Donald Trump from dragging the country towards authoritarianism. Rushdie extended his support during a virtual ‘South Asian Men for Harris’ event on Sunday that was attended by scores of leading names from the Indian-American community.”It’s a critical moment. I’m a boy from Bombay (Mumbai) 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.
