If Joe Biden was hoping on Friday to move past the controversy over his unwelcome physical contact with women, he did not succeed

Biden also rejected the idea that the Democratic Party had shifted leftward and away from him, pointing to his relatively early embrace of same-sex marriage and quipping that he “wished” he’d ever been called a moderate when he was campaigning for Senate.
