The View nabbed Joe Biden for his first interview since officially announcing he is running for president. In addition to asking why he’s running (watch above), he was also challenged on many of the more controversial issues that will follow him  on the campaign trail, such as if  Biden’s past behavior ever crossed the line with women.

Biden’s treatment of Anita Hill is back in the spotlight too. Thursday came word that he telephoned Hill recently and expressed “regret” over how she was treated during Clarence Thomas’s confirmation hearings. Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Hill testified about sexual harassment allegations against Thomas. The New York Times says, “Hill says the call from Mr. Biden left her feeling deeply unsatisfied.” Biden’s answer on The View about this won’t do much to help put this issue to bed either.

 

As for Biden’s age. Today Trump threw a jab Biden’s way about being younger, but Biden brushed it aside saying, “If he looks young and vibrant compared to me, I should probably go home… The best way to judge me is to watch, see if I have the energy and the capacity — it’s a ‘show me’ business.” He also said if he wins he doesn’t intend on being a one-term president.

There was also a touching moment as Biden talked about his late son, Beau.
