Donald Trump's interview with the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) sparked a debate over Kamala Harris's racial identity and her status as an American Descendant of Slavery (ADOS). The hosts discuss "colorism" and the "one drop rule," referencing a past CNN segment where Don Lemon and April Ryan argued over Harris's heritage. The segment suggests Trump is intentionally appealing to ADOS voters who feel marginalized by non-descendant Black politicians.
