Really? How hold was Harris when her parents divorced?
THIS! I can't believe people are going on and on about the politics of the father when the reality is that 1) Kamala did not spend that much time with her father growing up and 2) they have been estranged for a while. It was her mother that had the most influence on her, not her father. But MAGA tries to keep making that connection because it supports Trump's line of attack that she is a "radical leftist Marxist" etc.
From her Wiki page:
By 1970, the marriage had faltered, and Shyamala moved back to California with her two daughters;[12][13][9]
the couple divorced when Kamala was seven.[14] In 1972, Donald Harris accepted a position at Stanford University; Kamala and Maya spent weekends at their father's house in Palo Alto and lived at their mother's house in Berkeley during the week.[15] Shyamala was friends with African-American intellectuals and activists in Oakland and Berkeley.[11]
In 1976, she accepted a research position at the McGill University School of Medicine, and moved with her daughters to Montreal, Quebec.[16][17] Harris graduated from Westmount High School in Montreal in 1981.[18]
So Kamala was 7 when her parents divorced and 13 when she, her mother, and her sister moved to Montreal where she lived until she finished high school. Her father was back in the US. It's highly unlikely that her father had much of an effect on her politics given that history.
