Decomocrat U.S. presidential aspirant, Joe Biden has said
that he will pick a woman to be his running mate.
The former vice president said this at Sunday’s Democratic
debate on CNN.
Mr Biden said:
“Number one, I committed that if I’m elected president and have an
opportunity to appoint someone to the courts, I’ll appoint the first black
woman of the courts. It’s required that they have representation now. It’s long
overdue.
"Secondly, if I’m elected president, my cabinet, my
administration will look like the country and I commit that I will, in fact,
appoint a — I’d pick a woman to be vice president. There are a number of women
who are qualified to be president tomorrow. I would pick a woman to be my vice
president is.
"Number three, I’m the guy that wrote the domestic
violence law. I’m the guy that put in the prohibitions that no one who abuses
someone else should be able to own a gun. Period. They should not be able to
own a gun."
Mr. Biden made his commitment in response to a videotaped
question from a voter posed first to Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont about
how he would ensure his cabinet would be equipped to offer the best possible
advice about women’s physical and financial health.
