WASHINGTON — After an unprecedented and largely overlooked surge of Asian American and Pacific Islander voters in the 2020 election, one group is looking to leverage their newfound political muscle with some star power.
Hillary Clinton will headline a fundraiser next Wednesday expected to bring in a seven-figure sum for the AAPI Victory Alliance following its annual summit, officials with the group exclusively told McClatchy.
The event is designed to not only bank resources, but to bolster recognition for the AAPI community among Democrats after their unexpected rise in voter turnout during last year’s presidential election.
