Former Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that Attorney General William Barr should resign amid fury over his handling of the Trump-Russia investigation report. Biden spoke exclusively with KCCI during his first visit to Iowa, which holds the nation’s first caucus, since announcing his presidential bid. The 76-year-old Democrat said the American people have “lost confidence” in Barr, echoing fellow Democratic politicians who believe the attorney general served as the president’s protector rather than the people’s lawyer. “This is what happens when you get caught in this administration – you get pulled down,” Biden said. He urged voters to “pick truth over lies, unity over division, science over fiction.” His themes weren’t relatively new; he reiterated his desire to “restore the soul of this country, to rebuild the backbone of America, restore the middle class and bring everyone along, regardless of who you love or where you’re from.” Biden added that, if President Donald Trump serves four years, his presidency will go down as an aberration, but eight years with a Trump administration will “change the character of who we are, and we can’t let that happen.” With Biden’s entry into the race, the Democratic field tops more than 20 candidates. Trump has blasted Biden, who was considered a frontrunner before officially declaring his White House run.

The White House has dismissed claims that Trump views Biden as a threat. Preya Samsundar, a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee, said in a statement that Biden “blatantly lies to Iowans and the American people about tax cuts in order to peddle a common Democrat talking point.” “He understands a roaring economy and prospering families spell trouble for his presidential bid,” Samsundar continued. “Unfortunately for him, Iowans won’t have a problem rejecting his candidacy for a third time if it means keeping their hard-earned dollars.”
