Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Friday that he would back former President Donald Trump over President Joe Biden in the 2024 election and that he believes the real threat to democracy is not the former president but the progressive movement and its backing by the Biden administration.

Mr. Barr made the remark in an April 26 interview on CNN, in which he was asked to respond to a mocking social media post by President Trump in reaction to the former attorney general’s statement last week on Fox News that he would vote for the Republican candidate, whoever that ends up being.
