Duckworth backtracks after saying she’s done voting for Biden picks over lack of AAPI representation
Fox News
Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s office said in a statement late Tuesday that the Illinois Democrat will “not stand in the way” of President Biden’s nominees after strongly criticizing the administration for its lack of Asian American or Pacific Islander (AAPI) representation on Cabinet-level posts.
The statement followed a remarkable rebuke of the administration from the Iraq War veteran and who is the first native of Thailand elected to Congress. She said that it was unacceptable that there is not a "single AAPI in a Cabinet position."More Related News
