Allies of Joe Biden launched their super-PAC supporting his presidential candidacy on Wednesday, arguing that it’s needed to help him fight attacks from President Donald Trump as his campaign focuses on the Democratic primaries.

In a press release announcing its formal launch, Unite the Country says Biden has the best chance to beat Trump, and the group will focus its efforts on getting that message across to voters. It plans to push back against attacks on the Democratic primary front-runner by Trump and his allies.
