Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden pushed back against statements made by Attorney General William Barr that China, not Russia, is the most aggressive in trying to sow discord in U.S. politics.

Biden told reporters in Delaware Friday that he doesn’t agree that China is the biggest threat to the presidential election and said such assessment doesn’t match his intelligence briefings.

“There are a lot of countries around the world I think would be happy to see our elections destabilized. But the one who has worked the hardest, most consistently, and never has let up is Russia,” Biden said, adding later: “I just want to make it clear. I believe that any country that engages in any activity to delegitimize or impact on American elections is in direct violation of our sovereignty.”
