Former Vice President Joe Biden, who is reportedly considering a run for president in 2020, said this week that he wanted to help “change the culture” to end violence against women.
“It’s an English jurisprudential culture, a white man’s culture,” Biden said on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press. “It’s got to change.”
CNN political analyst Joan Walsh said there was an easy way that he could do just that.
“Don’t run,” she said.
Walsh then advised:
“Come out and support a woman. There’s six women in the race, four female senators. If you want to change it, that’s a way to change it. Y’know, I admire Joe Biden. I am a fond Democrat. He was a great vice president. But if you want to change it, don’t run.”

The first electric vehicle I ever drove was a Tesla Roadster in 2011. It was with great anticipation that I slid behind the wheel of the 2025 Acura ZDX Type S. Sure, it's a midsize SUV, but it wears the Type S moniker, a name reserved only for the most fun-to-drive in the Acura stable. On launch, the ZDX will be available in A-Spec and Type S trims -- both of which come equipped with a 102 kWh battery.
