Description
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were already planning to visit Atlanta as part of their ‘Help is here’ tour promoting the just-passed Covid-19 relief bill. But after eight people in the Atlanta area – most of them Asian American women – were gunned down amid a wave of anti-Asian violence around the country, Biden and Harris turned their attention to the AAPI community where help is needed. Ali Velshi covers this story and much more as he’s joined by Congresswoman Judy Chu, Congressman Andy Kim, figure skating champion Kristi Yamaguchi, Nobel Peace Prize nominee Amanda Nguyen, Georgia State Senator Michelle Au, former U.S. Attorney and MSNBC contributor Joyce Vance, the Brookings Institution’s Molly Reynolds, Maria Hinojosa, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Katie Benner, and Dr. Nahid Bhadelia.
