Biden’s Accuser

Tara Reade, the woman who alleges presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993 said in a video interview that he should withdraw from the White House race.

In light of these allegations, how might Biden’s policy platform on creating a more inclusive society be impacted if he were to continue his presidential campaign?

In March 2020, former Senator and Vice President Joe Biden was accused of sexual assault by a former staffer named Tara Reade. Biden denies the allegations but Reade’s claims have now resurfaced and she has recently urged him to withdraw from the race to become the next President of the United States.

Reade, a former Senate aide to Joe Biden, alleges that in 1993, when she was in her mid-20s, Biden pinned her up against a wall, kissed her, and penetrated her with his fingers. She has been attempting to tell her story for several years but said that a combination of fear and shame prevented her from going public earlier.

Biden has denied Reade’s allegations, saying that they are “not true” and that he doesn’t remember the incident in question. But Ms. Reade’s account has gained significant visibility online and on social media, and her allegations have been widely discussed in news outlets and in political circles.

Recent revelations and increased attention have led Reade to demand that Biden withdraw from the race for the White House. In an open letter to Biden released in April 2020, Reade wrote, “I used to support you. I used to believe that you were sincere and genuine in your desire to help Americans. But now, I simply cannot. I cannot support a candidate who has assaulted and violated me.”

Reade’s demand is a significant development in the ongoing row over sexual harassment in US politics. It has raised questions about Biden’s position as a frontrunner in the race, given the fact that his policy platform is built on the idea of rectifying past injustices and creating a more inclusive society.

However, as the accusations continue to gather momentum, the Biden campaign has not yet responded publicly to Ms. Reade’s renewed call for him to drop out of the race. Meanwhile, many commentators have accused the media of failing to take Reade’s claims seriously enough compared to allegations against other high-profile figures in American politics.

It’s not clear what impact this latest development will have on the election itself, which is slated for November 2020. However, it is clear that the issue is far from over, and that Joe Biden’s campaign is facing a significant challenge in dealing with the allegations brought forth by Tara Reade. What is certain is that these accusations not only affect Biden’s candidacy but also the wider debate regarding harassment in the workplace, especially when it comes to politics.
