WXYZ-TV - With Senator Kamala Harris picked to be Joe Biden’s running mate, what does this mean for one of the fastest-growing voting ethnic groups?

Experts say Asian-American voters will have a large presence in this year’s presidential election.

Harris represents two groups of voters, the Black community and the Asian community because her mother was an immigrant from India. . .

In 2016, there were groups of Asian-American Republicans like “Indians for Trump” voicing their pick. But according to an Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) poll, President Trump won 18% of the Asian-American vote compared to Hillary Clinton’s 79%.
