Joe Biden said that he supports scrubbing Confederate leaders’ names from all military assets, putting him at odds with President Trump who this week came out in opposition to renaming the 10 military bases named after Confederate soldiers, Politico reports.
Said Biden: “The names affixed to our military installations must honor the diverse heritage of leadership and sacrifice in our country’s history. I fully support Senator Warren’s bipartisan effort to form a commission to rename Defense Department facilities named after Confederate leaders in the next three years, and look forward to implementing the commission’s work as president.”
