Joe Biden's plan to 'end violence against women' has the same old political ploys

Joe Biden’s campaign has released the “Biden Plan to End Violence Against Women.” Not surprisingly, it is a rehashing of some of the most controversial and misguided elements of proposed reauthorizations of the Violence Against Women Act, a 1994 law that Biden originally sponsored.

Biden has never been shy about trumpeting his involvement with the Violence Against Women Act and its subsequent expansion. Unlike the act’s original passage, though, its expansion has been partisan and controversial.
