The Biden Trump Comparison from the eyes of Asian Americans
Biden and Trump have a stark contrast in many areas. To Asian Americans, these issues are the ones we see clear differences between the two sides:
• Character & Integrity
• COVID-19 Response
• Crime & Community
• Honoring Our Heroes
• Healthcare
• Climate Change
• Immigration
• Education
• Economic Policy
• Treatment of AAPI’s
There are enough discussions and media publications on the above topics, to bring our focus, we want to highlight the differences in their characters, personal integrity, handling of the COVID pandemics, and the treatment of Asian Americans in the Trump era.
