In a two-minute video, Biden sought to end a growing crisis for his imminent presidential campaign by defending his actions as representing "just who I am" while acknowledging that times and attitudes have changed.
"Social norms are changing," Biden said in a tweet accompanied by a the video. "I understand that, and I’ve heard what these women are saying.
"Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That’s my responsibility and I will meet it."
