"We're still a divided country," Kahele, a combat veteran, told Fox News during a recent interview. Kahele made history on Nov. 3 as just the second Native Hawaiian elected to Congress to represent the Aloha State since it became the 50th state in 1959. The show of force is indicative of Trump's broad appeal to a wide swath of the country, Kahele acknowledged.

During freshman orientation, Kahele was surrounded by a sea of Republicans due to Democrats' numerous House election losses.
