Senators Duckworth and Hirono
Drop Opposition to Biden Nominees.
Senators Tammy Duckworth and
Mazie Hirono will no longer object to
President Joe Biden's Cabinet nominees... .
... in protest of the lack of Asian American
and Pacific Islander representation.
The decision comes after a series of conversations
on Tuesday that led to the White House agreeing
to add a senior AAPI liaison to the administration.
I welcome the appointment of a senior level White House liaison to the AAPI community to further strengthen our voice, Sen. Mazie Hirono, via Twitter.
Duckworth previously told CNN that Biden was
on track to be the “first President in 20 years
without a Cabinet secretary who is AAPI.”
