Sen. Amy Klobacher, D-Minn., said Sunday she's got “no reason not to believe” a Nevada politician’s allegation that former Vice President Joe Biden was inappropriately affectionate with her.
In an interview on ABC News’ “This Week,” Klobuchar, who has declared her intent to run for president in 2020, was pressed on an allegation by Lucy Flores that has roiled Biden, who is expected to enter the presidential race as well.
"I have no reason not to believe her,” she said. “I think we know from campaigns and politics that people raise issues and they have to address them, and that’s what he will have to do with the voters if he gets into the race.”
Klobuchar said she also supports “all-out opposition” to the Trump administration plan to crush Obamacare — and is against “incremental” fixes to the healthcare law.
“I'm someone who wants to see immediate change and help people to afford their healthcare,” she said.
“What I would suggest first of all, all-out opposition to the administration's plan to kick people off their health care,” adding that if she’s elected president, “I'd immediately put in a public option proposal to Congress and that could be for Medicaid or Medicare.”
She said she’s also recommending “taking on the pharmaceutical companies by saying, …’ You don't own Washington.’”
“I’d make sure that we have negotiations for prices under Medicare and we bring in drugs from less expensive places like Canada,” she said.
