President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris met with leaders of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community Friday in Atlanta, in the wake of Tuesday’s shooting that left eight dead. Biden said in a speech following the meeting that the experiences of the AAPI leaders were "heart-wrenching to listen to." Biden said he spoke with the community leaders on the "public health crisis of gun violence in this country." Six people of Asian American descent were among the dead. Biden and Harris this week embarked on a "Help is Here" tour across the country to tout the massive spending package.
