Senate Conservatives executive director asked, "How does Biden know they're women? Is he a biologist?" Those words were likely a reference to remarks made by Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's response when she was asked during her confirmation hearing last year to define the word "woman."
"Can I provide a definition? No, I can’t," Brown-Jackson said according to Fox News. She added, "Not in this context, I'm not a biologist."

Fox News noted how the president lamented that the United States has fallen behind other countries when it comes to the number of working women.
"Well, 30 years ago, we ranked number six, number six among advanced economies that share women in the workforce. Know where we rank today? Nineteenth. Nineteenth. This is the United States of America for God’s sake," he complained.
"Women are 50% of our population, slightly more than 51%, more than 50% of our population. We can’t reach our full economic potential leaving half the workforce behind," Biden added.
