Why this Tamil Nadu village is rallying behind Kamala Harris

In Thulasendrapuram, Tiruvarur district, New Delhi, Kamala Harris’ ancestral village, excitement is high as US Vice President’s posters go up following President Biden’s endorsement of her as the Democratic Party’s Presidential nominee. The posters are displayed at the Sri Dharma Sastha Temple entrance. The village reminisces her 2020 Vice Presidential victory celebrations, which included a special puja, bursting crackers, and distributing sweets. Anticipation is palpable.
