Sen. Tammy Duckworth said she won't be voting for President Joe Biden's straight, white nominees any longer, until Asian-Americans are chosen to serve in the upper ranks of his administration like the cabinet. 'To be told that, well, you have Kamala Harris, we're very proud of her you don’t need anybody else is insulting,' the Illinois Democrat added. Duckworth said she would only be voting for Biden's 'diversity nominees,' which she defined as non-white, as well as members of the LGBTQ community. Most of Biden's cabinet jobs are already filled, but Duckworth, a veteran, pointed to positions like deputy secretary of defense and assistant secretary of defense for policy. 'They could make a commitment for a future cabinet secretary, an actual cabinet secretary,' Duckworth also offered.
