US Midterm Candidates Engage Indian-American Voters Through Cultural Outreach
US midterm election candidates are engaging Indian-American voters through cultural outreach such as cooking dosas and attending temple events. Democratic candidate James Talarico notably made dosas at an Indian restaurant in Texas, a state with a significant Indian-American population. These efforts aim to connect with a community influential in battleground states. Some candidates contrast their approach with opponents accused of divisive rhetoric, highlighting the importance of Indian-American votes in close races.
