A record 100,000-plus Indian-Americans watched a virtual rally in support of Donald Trump during which a top supporter of the US President said the influential community has been moving towards the ruling Republican Party in significant numbers.
Al Mason, co-chair of the Trump Victory India American Finance Committee, has been galvanising the Indian-American community to support President Trump in his re-election bid. Democratic Party’s nominee and former Vice-President Joe Biden will challenge Trump, a Republican, in the November 3 presidential election.
In his first major address to the community on Sunday, Mason said that his research spread over the last six months shows that for the first time, the Indian-American Democrats who have been voting for the Democrat nominee since 1992, are going to be leaning towards Trump.
Mason addressed the virtual rally organised by Americans4Hindus, a non-partisan independent political action committee. It said that 30,000 people watched it live on multiple social media platforms and groups and another over 70,000 watched it in the next few hours online.
