Apparently Kamala's Indian heritage is a very exciting deal in both the US community and in India itself.
I don't know what states they are in, but getting them excited isn't a bad thing.

Around 1.3 million Indian-Americans are expected to vote in this year's election, with nearly 200,000 in battleground states like Pennsylvania and 125,000 in Michigan, according to the research firm CRW Strategy.

Another reason for Trump to replace Pence with Nikki Haley.

And then there are Hispanics a much larger voting bloc: --------------- Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden could receive a significant boost among Latino voters due to his selection of U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris as his vice presidential running mate: “Our recent poll on behalf of Voter Participation Center and Voto Latino found that 59% of Latino voters in key battleground states said they would be excited about Harris as VP, and 52% say the selection of Harris will make them more likely to vote for Biden,” Anaís López of Latino Decisions writes. Harris already has a proven record among Latino voters from her previous runs for office as California attorney general and U.S. senator, López writes. “As attorney general of California, Harris won a majority of support from Latino voters twice in 2010 and 2014. She beat Loretta Sanchez for California’s first open Senate seat in nearly a quarter century in 2016. As her support among Latinos grew throughout the campaign, polls showed her breaking even or surpassing the popular Loretta Sanchez by election day.” That support continued as Harris announced her 2020 candidacy last year, López said, where she “was a favorite among Latino voters in the primary; leading the pack with Julián Castro, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. Harris’ favorability among Latinos was 53% after July and she has remained one of the top favorites for Latinos throughout. Kamala Harris was the first to provide simultaneous Spanish language translation at a campaign event in Nevada. She was led by Latino campaign manager Juan Rodriguez and noted Latina senior advisor Emmy Ruiz.” As we noted earlier this week, Harris has also had a strong immigration record in the Senate, where she’s been a bold leader in particular in the fight to protect young immigrants enrolled or eligible to enroll in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Following the Trump administration announcing the program’s rescission back in September 2017, Harris was the first Democratic senator to step forward and announce that she would vote against any spending package unless it included permanent protections for immigrant youth now threatened with deportation.

Another reason for Trump to replace Pence with Nikki Haley. I am not sure he would pick her. He wants Ivanka to be the first woman president. I would not be shocked if he picked her.
That said, you can see how Kemp and DeSantis are seriously vying for the VP position to replace Pence.
