In his first interview as the Democratic presidential nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden discussed his motives for choosing a woman of color as his running mate.
“Did you feel pressure to select a Black woman?” asked “Good Morning America” co-anchor Robin Roberts in an exclusive interview Friday in Wilmington, Delaware.
“No, I didn’t feel pressure to select a Black woman,” Biden said. He later added, “the government should look like the people, look like the country. Fifty-one percent of the people in this country are women. As that old expression goes, ‘women hold up half the sky,’ and in order to be able to succeed, you’ve got to be dealt in across the board.” (abcnews.go.com)
