The Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden recently picked Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, making her the official Vice-President candidate chosen by Biden. This decision has been welcomed by democrats in the majority as Kamala's VP run makes her the first Asian-American woman to be selected as a VP candidate by a major party. Kamala, 55, is the daughter of Shyamala Gopala, who was born in Chennai and later immigrated to the USA for a doctorate programme.

The video was posted back on November 25, 2019, and has over 702K view since then on YouTube, and over 1.5 million on Twitter. In the video, both Mindy and Kamala can be seen discussing their South-Indian heritage and discussed their families' immigration stories.

The stance of the future Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidate on immigration has evidently taken to the forefront with the Trump administration taking strong opposing stands during their term. In the video, Harris can be seen flaunting her cultural roots and while discussing the progressive nature of migration.
