Senate Democrat furious with Biden administration over lack of Asian American representation
Fox News
Sen. Tammy Duckworth says she’s done voting for any of President Biden’s nominees that aren’t diverse until his administration “figures out” a solution to the lack of Asian American or Pacific Islander (AAPI) representation at the cabinet level.
Duckworth, an Iraq War veteran who was wounded in combat and who is the first native of Thailand elected to Congress, said she shared her concerns with White House officials in a meeting on Monday night and in a follow-up conversation on Tuesday morning. "I’ve been talking to them for months. And they’re still not aggressive. So I am not going to be voting for any nominee from the White House, other than diverse nominees. I’ll be a 'no' on every one until they figure this out," the senator emphasized.More Related News
