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.
