Joe Biden publicly committed to picking a woman as his running mate. He also pledged to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court
Former Vice President Joe Biden publicly committed to picking a woman as his running mate during Sunday's Democratic debate, the first one-on-one face-off with Senator Bernie Sanders. He also pledged to nominate a black woman to the Supreme Court.
“He's making it hard for me right now. I was trying to give him credit for things,” Biden joked, as he pledged again to back Sanders should he come back and win the Democratic nomination. Biden called for expanded testing and hospital capacity, as well as dealing with the economic fallout with interest-free loans for small businesses. He urged voters to go to his website, but didn’t drill into details of his plan.
“I'm not shaking hands. Joe and I did not shake hands,” Sanders said of their pre-debate elbow bump. Sanders said he’s also been careful about the people with whom he’s interacting. “That is not a system that is prepared to provide healthcare to all people. In a good year without the epidemic, we're losing up to 60,000 people who die every year because they don't get to a doctor on time. It's clear this crisis is only making a bad situation worse,” he added.
After a riff from Sanders about billionaires who “contribute money to political campaigns” and “who control the legislative agenda,” Biden jumped in to defend his contributions from big-money donors, touting his $44 average donation and noting: “Bernie outspent me — two, three, four, five, six to one. I didn’t have any money and I still won.”
Within the same answer, Sanders caught himself, acknowledging his mistake. “Got ebola in my head,” he said.
