Indian Americans conflicted about Kamala Harris pose campaign challenge
They See Blue Pennsylvania chapter founder K.S. Bhaskar was interviewed about the importance of Indian-American voters and how that could spell support for Kamala Harris. “If you have a Desi calling a Desi, you’re going to get like a 15 to 20 percent pickup or callback rate,” he said, using a colloquial term used by South Asians to refer to South Asians. “If you have a random volunteer calling a random voter, you’re probably going to get a 3 to 5 percent pickup or callback rate.”

‘Immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country,’ says Trump
Rajiv Bhateja, co-founder of They See Blue, told New India Abroad, “With their blood, sweat and tears, several generations of immigrants built the United States into the great nation it is today. It is hard to imagine what this country would look like without immigration. Today, immigrants can be seen at the highest levels of academia, science, industry, business, high-tech and government. Their entrepreneurship has help transform society and boosted the economy enormously."

But organizers on the ground have been building their own machinery since 2017. The key to wooing Asian-American voters, they say: a candidate they respect with a coherent plan for the pandemic.
