'That’s not even a question, of course I would support Biden,' Flores said, though the former Nevada lawmaker said she would not vote for the former vice president in a Democratic primary.
The first woman to step forward and recount an alleged experience of inappropriate touching from former Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that their interaction in 2014 would not keep her from voting for Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
"You actually could have done more," Flores said to CBSN."You were the chair." She also pointed to previous anti-abortion stances Biden has taken, as well as her personal experience with Biden during a 2014 campaign rally where the then-vice president allegedly put his hands on her shoulders, smelled her hair and kissed the back of her head, as other reasons she would not vote for Biden in a primary election.

On Monday, Amy Lappos detailed her experience with Biden at a campaign event for a U.S. Representative where the former vice president allegedly touched her neck and rubbed his nose against hers, and made her think Biden would try to kiss her. "After the swearing in, as Ash was giving remarks, he leaned in to tell me 'thank you for letting him do this' and kept his hands on my shoulders as a means of offering his support," Carter wrote."But a still shot taken from a video — misleadingly extracted from what was a longer moment between close friends — sent out in a snarky tweet — came to be the lasting image of that day.
