Former Attorney General William Barr said he would vote for Donald Trump for president again, even after arguing in his new memoir that Trump went “off the rails” after the 2020 presidential election and blaming the U.S. Capitol attack on Trump’s election lies.
“I’ve certainly made it clear I don’t think he should be our nominee and I’m going to support somebody else for the nomination,” Barr told “Today” host Savannah Guthrie in an interview Monday to promote his forthcoming memoir. He argues in his book that Republicans need to pick another candidate besides Trump in 2024.
But pressed by Guthrie, Barr said he couldn’t imagine voting for the Democratic nominee — even with Trump on the ballot.
“Because I believe that the greatest threat to the country is the progressive agenda being pushed by the Democratic Party, it’s inconceivable to me that I wouldn’t vote for the Republican nominee,” Barr said.
