Democratic Sens. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois and Mazie Hirono of Hawaii backed off a threat to oppose non-minority Cabinet nominees put forward by the Biden administration after the White House announced the appointment of a high-level Asian American Pacific Islander liaison.

“I welcome the appointment of a senior level White House liaison to the AAPI community to further strengthen our voice,” Hirono said Tuesday night. “I had a productive conversation with the White House today to make clear my perspective about the importance of diversity in the President’s cabinet.”
