Excerpts from article:
...Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. says that English should not be the official language of the U.S., a reversal from a vote she cast more than a decade ago.
...At a campaign event in Las Vegas on Friday, Klobuchar said she has now "Taken a strong position against" the English-language amendment, which she voted for in 2007, according to The Associated Press.
...Klobuchar was one of 17 Senate Democrats to vote for the amendment, which would have reversed an executive order by former President Clinton that required government materials to be provided in languages other than English.
...Klobuchar is competing with former South Bend, Ind. Mayor and former Vice President for support from moderate voters in the Democratic race following her third-place finish in the New Hampshire primary earlier this week.
...On Thursday, Klobuchar received subtle criticism from Buttigieg, who, without mentioning her, pointed out that "Some of those same voices" from Washington who criticize his campaign also voted to confirm former U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan, who presided over family separation policies at the U.S.-Mexico border.
