At Sunday's DemDebate, JoeBiden made a historic promise to voters: he will nominate a woman vice president and, if given the opportunity, put an African-American woman on the Supreme Court.
The ground-breaking discussion was in response to a comment from undecided voter Amy Langenfeld, an Arizona-based law professor, who asked candidates how they’ll ensure “women’s physical and financial health,” in light of the war on women’s bodies and the disproportionate impact that cuts to social security and oppressive bail requirements have on women.
Biden’s fourth commitment was regarding bold action on policy that impacts women, including closing what is known as the “boyfriend exception”—a glaring loophole in American gun legislation that allows physically abusive ex-boyfriends and stalkers with previous convictions access to guns—and “a codification of Roe v. Wade.”Given both presidential candidates’ ages—both in their late 70s—the public discussion of vice presidential selections has been especially salient.
Many, like Dittmar, attribute Ferraro’s selection to be the result of feminist activism and lobbying, as well as a response to the in women’s voting patterns that emerged in the 1980 election—in which noticeably fewer women than men voted for Ronald Reagan.

Biden Pledges To Select Woman As Vice President Since Position Doesn’t Entail Much AnywayWASHINGTON—In a bid to secure support for his nomination as the Democratic Party’s candidate for president, Joe Biden reportedly pledged Sunday to select a woman as vice president since the position doesn’t entail much anyway. “I promise that my vice president will be a woman, since pretty much anyone can do this job, so I figure, hey, might as well pick a lady,” said Biden, adding that he knew from experience in his eight years as U.S. vice president that the position was essentially ceremonial and required no real work, so he had no reservations about handing it to a woman. “You basically just sit on your can all day and maybe show up at a meeting every month or two, so if a woman wants to do that, be my guest. I could see myself selecting [Senator] Amy Klobuchar, [former Georgia State Rep.] Stacey Abrams, or any one of the tens of millions of women perfectly capable of pulling off this no-show gig. I don’t really care what her politics are, and anyway it hardly matters. This works out well, actually, since I can stick a lady in the VP spot and don’t have to put one in an important role on the cabinet.” At press time, Biden was being praised by members of the media and his own party for his commitment to symbolic representation in an office that most people forget about half the time.

Biden Defends Past Inappropriate Touching Of Women As Symptom Of Stuttering HandsDETROIT—Opening up about the lifelong struggle that has been a source of embarrassment and frustration, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden defended Thursday his record of inappropriately touching women as a symptom of his lifelong struggle with stuttering hands. “Since my childhood, I’ve been burdened with this debilitating problem—anytime I wrap my hands around a woman’s waist or give them a shoulder rub, it’s because of a nervous medical tick,” said Biden, choking up while recounting how much his uncontrollable caressing of women’s backs and touching of their faces have hurt him over the years. “I was often too ashamed in the past to speak about it, but I know there’s some teenager out there grabbing a classmate’s ass who needs to know they are not alone. I’ve dealt with the misfortune of seeing my hands reach out and pull a woman uncomfortably close to me and the embarrassment of them mocking me and saying ‘Stop doing that.’ I’ve worked to get it under control, and I want my supporters to be confident that I will only occasionally be touching women over the course of the presidential campaign.” At press time, Biden was attributing his support of the Iraq war and opposition to school busing as the result of a challenging brain stutter.
