        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams on Tuesday formally endorsed Joe Biden for president, in the latest endorsement despite sexual assault allegations against Biden by former Senate staffer Tara Reade.</p><p>“Vice President Biden is the leader America needs – a leader who will restore dignity, competence and compassion to the Oval Office while restoring America’s moral leadership around the world,” Abrams said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/staceyabrams/status/1260174654284664834/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">statement</a> distributed by the Biden campaign. “I look forward to continuing my strong support for his candidacy and doing all I can to make sure he is elected this November.”</p><p>Abrams, who has been publicly advocating for herself as a possible vice presidential pick, also reiterated on Tuesday that she does not believe Tara Reade’s allegations against Biden.</p><p>“The question I got was not only the question of Joe Biden’s character, but of my character,” Abrams said in an interview with&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/AlxThomp/status/1260299100668473345" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Vice</em></a>. “And if I believed that he had done what he’s accused of doing, I would not be in any other conversations, because that’s wrong. What he’s accused of doing, and that he has flatly and clearly denied, and I believe his denial, speaks not only to who he is but to who I am.”</p><p>Reade alleges that Biden sexually assaulted her in Spring 1993. Testimony of friends, neighbors, and a court document from 1996 <strong>show</strong> that Reade had discussed an alleged assault in Biden’s office at the time, although there is no evidence that directly confirms Biden’s involvement.</p><p>Other possible vice presidential candidates, including Senators Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) and Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.), have also declared their support for Biden despite Reade’s allegations.</p>]]></content:encoded>
