With Senator Kamala D. Harris throwing her hat into the ring for the Democratic presidential nomination for 2020 US presidential polls, her Indian origin and the support of the Indian community is widely being debated on social media platforms.

New Delhi (Sputnik): If elected, Kamala D. Harris would be the first woman and the first person of Asian heritage to serve as the American president. 

The debate became denser with Harris' own tweet proclaiming her maternal lineage.

Some on Twitter observed that her origin and personality have the potential of greatly influencing voters.

Some enthusiastic Indians called Harris a pride for India.

With Tulsi Gabbard & Kamala Harris considering jumping into the electoral fray, chances of having a Hindu/ Indo-origin US President is looking a real possibility. Good times for us,provided we don't err in 2019 elections & permanently damage what could probably be INDIA’S DECADE.

There were others who chose to differ, however.

Kamala Harris jumps into US presidential race- she would be the 1st women to hold the presidency. 

KAMALA HARRIS MUST NOT RUN FOR US PRESIDENT, IT WILL HARM OUR INDIANS INCLUDING ASSAMESE INDIANS IN USA!!DEMOCRATS MUST NOT SELECT KAMALA HARRIS!! INDIA & NEPAL ARE ENOUGH FOR HINDU P.M.s & HINDU PREZs!! WE LOVE PREZ TRUMP & —USA!! https://t.co/D2HR99J7vD
