WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — After a historic and groundbreaking election, the United States India Political Action Committee reacted to the election of Joe Biden as President of the United States of America. USINPAC also reacted to the election of Kamala Harris as the first-ever Indian American and first-ever black woman elected as Vice President of the United States of America.
“We congratulate President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris for their victory,” said USINPAC Chairman Sanjay Puri. “We look forward to working with their administration by being a resource for qualified Indian Americans who want to serve in their administration and will work with them towards strengthening the US India relationship.”
“My mother had been raised in a household where political activism and civic leadership came naturally,” says Vice President-elect Harris.

A historic day for Asia, Africa, America and for women worldwide. One of the most inspirational days for young girls everywhere, especially Black and Indian girls. A victory for decency, class and truth.”
After accepting their election to President and Vice President during tonight’s victory speech, President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris will be sworn in on Jan. 21, 2021.
