Joe Biden accuser Tara Reade says the former vice president should quit his 2020 campaign — adding he “should not be running on character” — in a new interview with Megyn Kelly

“Joe Biden, please step forward and be accountable,” Reade tells Kelly in a clip from a longer, yet-to-air interview teased on Kelly’s Twitter account.

“You want him to withdraw?” Kelly asks in the clip.

“I wish he would,” Reade answers. “But he won’t, but I wish he would. That’s how I feel emotionally.”

Asked if she wants an apology, Reade answers, “I think it’s a little late.”

Reade also described suffering harsh backlash at the hands of “some of [Biden’s] surrogates,” who she said “have been saying terrible things about me and to me” on social media.

“All my social media has been hacked,” she said. “All my personal information has been dragged through.

“Every person that maybe has, you know, a gripe against me, an ex-boyfriend or an ex-landlord — whoever it is, has been able to have a platform.”

At one point, someone online called her a Russian agent, she said.

“That in particular. That incites people. I got a death threat from that because they thought I was being a traitor to America,” Reade said.

“And I mean these are serious things. His campaign is taking this position that they want all women to be able to speak safely — I have not experienced that.”

The former staffer has accused Biden of pinning her against a wall and sexually assaulting her in 1993, which the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has denied.

Reade’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, has promised she will describe what happened to her. Kelly has promised that “a ton of news” will be revealed in the interview, which will run in its entirety Friday on her Instagram and YouTube channel.
