Biden is expected to announce his running mate in the coming days ahead of next week's Democratic National Convention. The United States has never had a female vice president, and the move comes four years after the country's first female presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, lost her White House bid.

Of Biden's vow to choose a woman, Trump said, “Some people would say that men are insulted by that. And some people would say it’s fine.”
