Senate Democratic hopefuls aren't abandoning Joe Biden amid the Tara Reade allegations. But Republicans are aiming to seize on that loyalty to bring up another old fight: Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation.
Gov. Steve Bullock of Montana, who is challenging Republican Sen. Steve Daines, said women should be given the chance to come forward to “be heard and treated respectfully” and have their allegations taken seriously. He said Biden met that standard. But Democrats bristle at the comparison between allegations against Biden and Kavanaugh, arguing that the allegations against the former vice president are completely different.
“They are the ones who are totally embracing their admitted sexual predator president,” said Sen. Mazie Hirono . “So for them to use that as some sort of a weapon against Democrats and they themselves won’t even look to their own behavior is more than hypocritical.” She said in a statement Friday that "principles like the presumption of innocence, fairness, and due process always bear on my thinking in evaluating such an allegation" and said Reade should be "treated with respect and have a chance to tell her story." The Maine Republican added she respects Biden's public service.cycle.
