Election forecaster changes 2024 North Carolina prediction in race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris

Vice President Kamala Harris is under fire for “rewriting” her story about where she actually grew up in Northern California to claim more moderate origins.

The presidential candidate speaks fondly of her upbringing in Oakland, California, but in fact she spent most of her youth and early school years in Berkeley, a place with more leftist overtones.

During her acceptance speech for the presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention last week in Chicago, Harris talked about how her mother rented an apartment in the “East Bay.”

“In the Bay, you either live in the hills or on the plains,” she said. “We lived on the plains, a beautiful blue-collar neighborhood of firefighters, nurses and construction workers who took care of their lawns with pride.”

However, Harris did not officially move into the Oakland apartments until she was an adult in her early 20s, according to the New York Times.

Although he was born in an Oakland hospital, his birth certificate lists an apartment building near the University of California at Berkeley, where his parents were pursuing their doctorates.

Harris has a history of speaking vaguely about her upbringing, likely an attempt to identify with a more humble middle-class life, rather than the privileged life as the daughter of Berkeley academics.
