The 2024 US presidential election is expected to be highly competitive, with the outcome still uncertain. The race could be determined by a mix of key battleground states, and may take time to resolve if the results are tight. 

In a growing trend, over 30 Indian Americans are running for local and state elections, reflecting the community's increasing involvement in politics. Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi has been encouraging community members to participate, emphasizing the importance of political representation. California, in particular, has seen a significant number of Indian Americans running for office, with representatives like Ro Khanna, Dr. Ami Bera, and Vice President Kamala Harris, whose mother was of Indian descent.

Ro Khanna: The Democratic representative from California won reelection to the U.S. House, easily defeating Republican Anita Chen. Khanna, serving on the House Armed Services and Oversight Committees, represents the 17th district, a solidly blue area in Silicon Valley.

Suhas Subramanyam: Subramanyam made history as the first Indian American elected from Virginia and the entire East Coast to the U.S. House of Representatives. He won in the 10th District, a Democratic stronghold, defeating Republican Mike Clancy. Subramanyam is also a Virginia State Senator and joins the "Samosa Caucus" in Congress.

Shri Thanedar: Thanedar, an Indian American congressman from Michigan, was re-elected to his second term, defeating Republican Martell Bivings by over 35 percentage points. He credited his victory to strong constituent services and support for working families, unions, and reproductive freedom. He also highlighted his efforts in securing federal funding for his district and sponsoring numerous bills, including those related to mental health and small business.
