In Reversal, Biden Campaign Opens Door To Super PAC Support

Joe Biden�s campaign is rolling back his opposition to an independent political action committee that would allow wealthy individuals and corporations to boost his 2020 Democratic presidential bid.

A top Biden aide says in a lengthy statement Thursday that it�s �not surprising� some Biden supporters are considering financing a super PAC on his behalf.

Biden has previously opposed such a move.

Kate Bedingfield�s statement doesn�t explicitly endorse a super political action committee but notes President Donald Trump and Republicans already are spending considerable sums �to intervene directly in Democratic primaries� against Biden.

The former vice president trails his top primary rivals Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in total fundraising and cash-on-hand.

Sanders and a top progressive group that supports Warren each blasted the notion of a Biden super PAC.
