"Notwithstanding all of his limitations in the past, and the mistakes that he made in the past, notwithstanding those—at this point, between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, I think Joe Biden is the person who should be elected in November,” Hill told CNN. Hill said she isn’t just voting for Biden because she doesn’t like Trump, adding that she is willing to work with Biden on issues of gender discrimination and harassment.
Biden has been accused of mishandling confirmation hearings in 1991 for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas by not calling more corroborating witnesses and failing to rein in the all-male panel of senators who grilled Hill about her personal character. Hill is now a professor at Brandeis University focusing on social policy, law, and Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies."One of the impacts of 1991 was my desire not to really work with the government in any way," Hill said."I always said, I think I can be more effective as an outsider, as opposed to an insider. And now, I'm willing to evolve myself, to work for change inside,” she told CNN.
