Mr. Biden spoke with Ms. Hill by telephone shortly before he announced his presidential bid, expressing regret for “what she endured” and detailing his admiration for her, his campaign said at the time. But Ms. Hill told The New York Times last month that she was unsatisfied with his message. “I don’t know that the Biden campaign is addressing the issue directly, so I can’t say I’ve seen any,” she said.

Ms. Hill spoke to The Times on Tuesday ahead of the PEN America Literary Gala and Free Expression Awards in New York, where she was presented with an award.
