For Vice President Kamala Harris, the Indian-American vote should have been a slam dunk. Her Indian heritage seemed like a natural bridge to a community with historically strong Democratic ties. But this election revealed a surprising shift in Indian-American loyalties—a change that ultimately contributed to a sweeping victory for President-elect Donald Trump. The story of Indian-Americans reflects what's happening across America—a reaction to what many see as a Democratic focus on progressive social agendas over practical concerns like economic stability, national security, and family values.
A recent Carnegie Endowment survey starkly illustrates this changing allegiance. From 2020 to 2024, the percentage of Indian-Americans identifying as Democrats dropped from 56% to just 47%, while support for Trump surged from 22% to 31%. This shift is particularly pronounced among younger Indian-American men, who might have been expected to rally around Harris's candidacy. Instead, they're leading a generational realignment, pushing back against Democratic policies they feel have drifted from core priorities that resonate with them.
