Earlier this year, multiple women said that they felt uncomfortable after past physical contact with Biden, who is running for president. In response, Biden released a video in which he said he would be more mindful of women's boundaries.

“It just won’t happen again, he heard what they were saying,” Jill Biden said on Comedy Central.

Biden also said that she thinks it is fair that she is being asked about such issues, saying, “That’s part of it, when you run together, and I’ll be out there with him on the campaign trail.”

Joe Biden is among two dozen people seeking the Democratic Party's 2020 presidential nomination. He has been the front-runner in many recent polls.
