On Friday, Politico reported that former Vice President Joe Biden is coming out in support of removing Confederate officers’ names from U.S. military bases — setting up a stark contrast to President Donald Trump.

“The names affixed to our military installations must honor the diverse heritage of leadership and sacrifice in our country’s history,” said Biden in a statement to Politico. “I fully support Senator [Elizabeth] 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.”
