Biden and Democratic senators disagree about Obama's legacy

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday he was surprised his primary opponents would attack the legacy of his former boss, President Barack Obama, during a 2020 Democratic presidential debate. But Democratic senators, most his former colleagues, said Obama’s legacy is in safe hands.

“I was a little surprised at how much incoming there was about Barack, about the president,” Biden told reporters in Detroit, referencing rivals’ jabs at the Obama administration on deportations, climate, and other issues. “I’m proud of having served him. I’m proud of the job he did. I don’t think there’s anything he has to apologize for.”
