Received this e-mail yesterday from U.S. Senator Mazie Hirono (D. HI) in support of former Vice President Joe Bidens Presidential Campaign:
The American people deserve a president who can bring our divided country together. Thats why today, Im endorsing my friend Joe Biden for President of the United States.
Joe not only brings years of committed leadership to the presidency, but also empathy and humanity forged by his own personal experiences with tragedy and pain. Empathy and humanity sadly lacking in the current president.
At a time when the health of Americans is at risk, Joes fight to enact, sustain, and expand the Affordable Care Act and his leadership on the Cancer Moonshot demonstrate his commitment to health care as a right and not a privilege.
So many of us have watched in horror as Donald Trump refuses to take responsibility to keep Americans safe or provide necessary leadership during this pandemic.
Donald Trump and members of his administration have incited hatred of Asian Americans by calling the COVID-19 the Chinese Virus or Kung Flu.
These racist comments, amplified by the Presidents allies on Fox News and the right-wing media, have contributed to an explosion of hate crimes targeting Asian Americans in this country.
I was proud to hear Vice President Bidens forceful condemnation of Donald Trumps racism. It supports efforts Ive led in Congress to combat these hate crimes, fighting alongside allies like Tammy Duckworth, Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren. Joe demonstrates the principled leadership we need right now. This is the kind of humanity we need back in the Oval Office.
Joe is fighting for a more just, progressive future for our country. He knows where he came from, who hes fighting for, and why. He knows whats at stake in this election and just how hard were going to need to work. But he cant do it alone. Its up to each of us to get fired up, stay mobilized, and work every day for the next few months to elect Joe Biden the next President of the United States.
Were in this together.
- Mazie
Joe is bringing it al together.

She is such an amazing public servant and incredible human being. I know there are restrictions because of her birthplace but if there weren't I sure wouldn't mind having her as a veep.
