In a surprising turn of events, former Attorney General Bill Barr, who once stated that Donald Trump should not be anywhere near the Oval Office, has declared that he would vote for the former president in the 2024 election over President Joe Biden. This announcement came during an interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins, sparking a flurry of reactions across the political spectrum. Despite Barr's previous criticisms of Trump, his commitment to the Republican vote seems unwavering, highlighting the complex dynamics within the party as it approaches the next presidential election.
Donald Trump's response to Barr's endorsement was equally unexpected, as he took to social media to mock Barr, calling him 'gutless' and 'lazy'. This reaction is indicative of Trump's contentious relationship with his former attorney general, who had been a loyal supporter during his presidency but later distanced himself due to disagreements over Trump's conduct and policies.

As New York magazine notes, this was Trump’s not-at-all-subtle way of calling Barr fat, because if the former president of the United States is one thing, it’s a schoolyard bully. The former AG, of course, does not deserve anyone’s sympathy; having worked closely with Trump while doing his dirty work, he should have seen this coming.
