Jill Biden: ‘It took a lot of courage’ for women to speak out about Joe’s behavior

Former second lady Jill Biden on Wednesday praised the “courage” of women who spoke out about being uncomfortable after being touched by her husband, former Vice President Joe Biden. 

“It took a lot of courage for women to step forward and say, you know, you’re in my space, and Joe heard that,” Biden said while appearing on “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.”

“It just won’t happen again, he heard what they were saying,” Jill Biden said on Comedy Central. 

Biden also said that she thinks it is fair that she is being asked about such issues, saying, “That’s part of it, when you run together, and I’ll be out there with him on the campaign trail.”

Joe Biden is among two dozen people seeking the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination. He has been the front-runner in many recent polls.
