Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr said Wednesday he will vote for the “Republican ticket” in the November presidential election.
“I think it’s my duty to pick the person I think would do the least harm to the country,” Barr said on Fox News’s America’s Newsroom. “And in my mind, that’s — I will vote the Republican ticket.”
Barr’s comments come in spite of past criticism of his ex-boss, former President Trump, who is the presumptive Republican nominee for president. In December, Barr said his successor in a potential second Trump administration would have to be against the former president’s “abuse of government power.”
“Trump needs people around him who will push back and help keep him on the straight and narrow,” Barr said.
