From the day she launched her second bid for statewide office, Bird was running as much against President Joe Biden as against her Democratic opponent longtime Attorney General Tom Miller. She frequently said she’d see Biden in court, and promised to “give Joe Biden exactly what he deserves” in her first television commercial (famous for its tag line, “Give ’em the Bird!”).
On her first day as attorney general, Bird formally signed onto several lawsuits that Governor Kim Reynolds had already joined on Iowa’s behalf. According to a January 3 news release, one case challenges Biden’s student loan debt relief, three are related to vaccination mandates, and one targets language in the 2021 American Rescue Plan that restricted states from using the federal relief funds to pay for tax cuts.
Bird told the Des Moines Register that she expects Biden to take more “unconstitutional executive action” in the coming years, since Democrats no longer control the U.S. House. She added, “it will become very important to step up and sue the federal government in that situation.”
