"Makes zero sense" - Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend Ayan Broomfield shuts down claims of Kamala Harris being 'unqualified' for US President
Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend Ayan Broomfield has expressed her frustration with the discourse surrounding Kamala Harris' bid to become US President. Broomfield lashed out at claims suggesting that Harris was unqualified for the position.
As the US presidential election draws near, members of the tennis community like Martina Navratilova, Andy Roddick, Pam Shriver, and Serena Williams' ex-coach Rennae Stubbs have been openly sharing their views on the race between Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump.
Frances Tiafoe's girlfriend Ayan Broomfield has also stepped into the conversation, revealing her major frustration with the election discourse. Broomfield is a tennis player herself, but she is not active on the WTA tour.
In a recent clip posted to social media, the 27-year-old made a rare political statement to air her grievances with what has been "irritating" her about the 2024 US presidential election. While Broomfield acknowledged that people were entitled to disagree with Kamala Harris' platform, she emphasized that she would not stand for the claims that the Democratic nominee was unqualified for the seat.
The Canadian pointed to Harris' extensive accomplishments, arguing that downplaying the 60-year-old's hard-earned achievements made "zero sense."
"I never speak on politics but this specific thing has been bothering me so much about this election. You may not believe in Kamala’s strategy or her plan or even her in general. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but what’s been irritating me is when people say that she is not qualified," Broomfield said.
"She’s an undergrad from Harvard, a law degree from University of California. She was District Attorney, she was Attorney General, she was the Vice President, she’s on all these committees. How do you get more qualified than that? Stripping away her hard-earned achievements to justify your lack of support makes zero sense," she added.
