    Attorney General Kamala Harris wins the open Senate seat to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer in race that featured two Democrats in California.

    Thanks to California's unusual primary system, in which the two top finishers from the June primary advance to the general election, voters were deciding between Harris and Democratic Rep. Loretta Sanchez.

    Sanchez, a 10-term congresswoman, tried to consolidate support from Republicans and Latinos, but with little success.

    CNN —

    When Shyamala Gopalan first came to the United States, there were only around 12,000 Indian immigrants living here.

    It was 1958, seven years before a new law would transform the US immigration system and fundamentally change the face of the nation.

    By 2018, there were nearly 2.7 million Indian immigrants living in the US. And now, Gopalan’s daughter, Sen. Kamala Harris, is the first Indian American on a major party’s presidential ticket.


    Harris is the daughter of immigrants – her mother from India and her father from Jamaica. Hervice presidentialnomination marks a milestone and highlights a major demographic shift in the US in recent decades, as more immigrants began arriving from non-European countries.

    “It’s hugely significant. … It is, first of all, really affirming and rooting into our consciousness that these demographic shifts are very much a part of our country and they are here to stay,” says Virginia state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, who was born in India.

    “Her background, her experience, her leadership is an indication of the ways in which so many immigrant communities really just are woven throughout the fabric of this country.”

    Kamala IS of Indian and African descent (and Scottish and Irish).

    Trump was never Swedish.

    Art of the Deal, early printing:

    "His story is classic Horatio Alger. Fred Trump was born in New Jersey in 1905. His father,
    who came here from Sweden as a child,
    owned a moderately successful restaurant, but he
    was also a hard liver and a hard drinker, and he died when my father was eleven years old.
