Women's soccer suit for equal pay thrown out of court

After a federal judge in California on Friday threw out the U.S. women's national soccer team's claim of unequal pay compared to the men's team, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden tweeted his support of the women.

"Don't give up this fight," read a tweet posted on Biden's official account on Saturday. "This is not over yet."

The former vice president also called out U.S. Soccer and laid out in plain terms what the consequences would be if the organization did not pony up for equal pay.

"Equal pay, now," Biden tweeted. "Or else when I'm president, you can go elsewhere for World Cup funding."
