The event was for the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which Biden helped write the original piece of the legislation in 1994 when he was a senator on Capitol Hill.

The signing authorizes all current VAWA grant programs until 2027.

Angelina has been a vocal supporter of the legislation, and spoke at a news conference urging lawmakers to renew the VAWA last month, via The Hill.

“Standing here at the center of our nation’s power, I can think only of everyone who has been made to feel powerless by their abusers by a system that failed to protect them,” she said at the time.
