“Instead of doing anything to make Americans’ lives better, they are focused on attacking me with lies,” Biden, 81, said. “Instead of doing their job on the urgent work that needs to be done, they are choosing to waste time on this baseless political stunt that even Republicans in Congress admit is not supported by facts.”
