Any mention of her fervent Sanders support?

it's mentioned, but along with her denial that it had anything to do with the timing or substance of her accusation.

Ms. Reade made her new allegation public as Mr. Biden was closing in on the Democratic presidential nomination after winning a string of primaries against his chief rival, Senator Bernie Sanders. Ms. Reade, who describes herself as a “third-generation Democrat,” said she originally favored Marianne Williamson and Senator Elizabeth Warren in the race but voted for Mr. Sanders in the California primary last month. She said her decision to come forward had nothing to do with politics or helping Mr. Sanders, and said neither his campaign nor the Trump campaign had encouraged her to make her allegation...

During her time in Mr. Biden’s office, he was working to pass the Violence Against Women Act, which Mr. Biden has described as his “proudest legislative accomplishment.” In 2017, Ms. Reade retweeted praise for Mr. Biden and his work combating sexual assault. In more recent months, her feed has featured support for Mr. Sanders and criticism of Mr. Biden.

For clarification, this is the GOP PA House. As far as I know the R Senate leadership is hesitant to take on these bills.

Yeah, remember a month ago-ish when he was all like "I want to give governors the flexibility to do what is best for their citizens"? Of course that was purely a cop-out to avoid him having to make decision about a national stay-at-home order but the contradiction is remarkable.
