Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said he supports government protection of some statues, including those of George Washington, the first president of the United States.

Biden, in his first press conference in nearly three months, said institutions like Princeton University are free to decide whether to remove names from their school. Princeton removed the name of former President Woodrow Wilson last week.
