After judge's ruling goes against USWNT, Joe Biden demands U.S. Soccer pay women's team equally

The United States women’s national soccer team has the support of former vice president and current Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

Biden tweeted his support for the women’s team to keep moving forward in the wake of a judge’s ruling against the USWNT in its equal pay lawsuit. Biden said that he wanted U.S. Soccer to pay the women’s team equally to the men’s team. And if it didn’t, he would withdraw support for the 2026 World Cup should he be elected president.

To @USWNT: don’t give up this fight. This is not over yet.
