Tammy Duckworth, the Illinois senator and Iraq War veteran, is on Joe Biden's shortlist for running mates. She has drawn new attention in recent weeks after high-profile spats with the Trump administration and its allies.
"There's an intensity there"
Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii, where Duckworth lived as a teenager and a college student, said Duckworth has illustrated a clear passion for defending service members and veterans. "I think what you want in a public leader is someone who has a throughline in terms of what they care about. And hopefully that thing that they care the most about preceded their entrance into politics," Schatz said."For Tammy, her passion for her fellow veterans is that through line."
Former Congressman Walsh said he learned the hard way that Duckworth's sacrifice for the country helps her resist political attacks.during her time as head of the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs. Two women said Duckworth created a hostile workplace, firing one worker and berating another. The case was settled, but Walsh said it showed Duckworth was unpolished and difficult to work with.
Then-Vice President Joe Biden participates in a reenacted Senate swearing-in with Duckworth in early 2017.
