- Amy Lappos, a former congressional aide who accused Democratic candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden of inappropriate physical contact, said in an interview with Hearst Connecticut Media that he is still the "obvious choice" for president.
- "Did I want to end up with Joe Biden, two white males in the election? Not really," she told the outlet. "However, Joe Biden is the obvious choice to beat [President Donald] Trump right now and therefore, I support him."
- Lappos, along with seven other women, have alleged that Biden either touched them inappropriately or violated their personal space in a way that made them uncomfortable.
- Lappos said she received pushback for coming forward, but said she hopes her story reiterates a message about "bodily autonomy and survivorship."
