Biden also joked about misconduct allegations against him during a speech on Friday.
Former Vice President Joe Biden said Friday that he hadn't made an announcement about his potential 2020 presidential bid because he wants to be the last Democratic contender to enter the race, if he chooses to run.
But Will Marshall, president and founder of the Progressive Policy Institute, questioned why Biden would want to delay his official announcement. Seventeen Democrats have officially said they will run against President Donald Trump in the 2020 election. A total of eight women have now come forward and alleged Biden touched them in ways that made them feel uncomfortable, according to The Cut.
"I just want you know, I got permission to hug Lonnie," he said while speaking to the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in Washington, D.C. He was referring to hugging Lonnie Stephenson, the president of the union."By the way, he gave me permission to touch him," he said, after putting his arm around one of the boys.
