President Obama on Thursday gave a shout out to Vice President Joe Biden for his work on gun control legislation and the Violence Against Women Act. 

“You can stand for Joe,” Obama told the audience at a signing ceremony for the Violence Against Women Act. “Stand for Joe! Give it up for Joe Biden!”

Obama added: “So, on behalf of everybody here and all of the lives that you have had a positive impact and touched through the Violence Against Women’s act, the survivors who are alive today because of this law, the women who are no longer hiding in fear because of this law, the girls who are growing up aware of their right to be free from abuse because of this law, on behalf of them and all their families, I want to thank Joe Biden for making this one of the causes of his career.”
