Vice President Kamala Harris spent her teenage years in Montreal, where residents talk about her as if she is a local girl who made good.
Harris barely talks about Canada at all.
For a presidential candidate whose identity is part of her appeal to voters, the absence of Montreal—where she lived from age 12 to 18—from her biography is notable. She doesn’t mention it on her official White House website. In her Democratic National Convention acceptance speech, the only mention of Montreal was an oblique reference to “wherever our parents’ jobs took us.”
Tyler Anbinder, a professor at George Washington University who specializes in the history of immigration and ethnicity in the U.S., said: “That she actually went to high school in Canada, which might make her seem more foreign, would be something that the Harris campaign wants to avoid.”
A spokeswoman for the Harris campaign declined to comment. Harris doesn’t often talk about her identity on the campaign trail, though she is a historic candidate as the first Black woman and person of Indian descent to be a major party’s nominee for president. When Trump questioned whether she was really Black, she said he was attempting to divide people over race.
