Nov 06, 2024 05:54 PM As Kamala Harris risks losing the US elections, social media buzzes about her and Usha Vance, highlighting their Indian roots. As Kamala Harris stares at probable defeat in the US elections, the Indian-origin candidate is trending on social media along with Republican vice presidential pick JD Vance’s wife Usha Vance. The reason behind the two women, who are at opposite sides of the US presidential race, trending on social media in India is their shared Indian ancestry. However, a regional dispute has now emerged and divided Indian X users. Kamala Harris is of Tamil descent while Usha Vance is of Telugu descent.(AFP) Kamala Harris vs Usha VanceWhile some have sided with Kamala Harris, who is of Tamil descent, others are backing Usha Vance, who is of Telugu descent. X users were quick to point out that US voters seem to have chosen Telugu over Tamil as JD Vance will soon replace Kamala Harris as the US vice president. “So, Telugu bidda Usha Vance wins against Tamil Kamala Harris. Another major win for Telugus against Tamils after 1956,” read one comment. “Kamala Harris is Tamil Brahmin and Usha Chilukuri is Telugu Kamma. Presidential race in US has the same dynamics as hostel elections in IIT Madras,” joked one user.

Usha, a practicing Hindu who studied at Yale and Cambridge Universities, married JD Vance in Kentucky in 2014. They have three children.
