Two prominent Democratic presidential candidates have promised to rescind many of the rules and regulations of the incumbent Trump administration that has hit hard the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community and vowed to carry the much needed immigration reform, including family reunification.

Reflecting their recognition of the importance of 21 million AAPI community in electoral politics, Democratic presidential candidates - Senator Bernie Sanders and Senator Amy Klobuchar - appeared for an interaction on Tuesday and an hour-long question and answer session organised by the AAPI Victory Fund.

The first Super PAC of its kind, AAPI Victory Fund is focused on mobilising eligible voters from the community and moving them to the ballot box.

"If elected, our administration will be most diverse in the history of this country. It will look like this country," Sanders said in response to a question at the panel discussion moderated by Congresswomen Judy Chu and Grace Meng as he discussed how his platform will support the diverse and specific needs of the broader AAPI community
