Former President Donald Trump was fired by 80 million American people in the 2020 presidential poll and they still do not trust him, Indian-origin Democratic leader Neil Makhija said.
Makhija, who is emerging as a prominent face in the Democratic Party and overseeing Vice President Kamala Harris' campaigning in Pennsylvania said it is concerning to think that Trump could even be close to being back to the White House. Makhija said Harris will be a president who cares for everyone, not only her supporters.
"Having her as president will be tremendously important not just for our community but for women, the African-Americans and for all of the people."
