Vice President Joe Biden will appear in an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit that will mention the backlog of untested rape kits in many cities, as well as efforts to end violence against women—an issue close to the Biden, who authored the Violence Against Women Act in 1994. Biden, who has also considered ending the rape kit backlog a legislative priority, will travel to New York City to tape the episode of the long-running show on Friday, according to a White House press release.
