Joe Biden's Campaign Reverses Opposition to Super PACs
------------------------------------------------------

Former vice president and 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden
on Thursday reversed a pledge not to accept the help of Super PACs. A
Biden campaign spokesperson said the move was necessary to counter a
barrage of attack ads from President Trump. A spokesperson for Bernie
Sanders's campaign - which opposes Super PACs - slammed Biden's move,
saying: "Joe Biden has spent his campaign promising elite donors that
nothing will fundamentally change for them, and he has made clear to
fossil fuel and pharmaceutical donors that he will be their ally."
