The woman who alleges presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe&nbsp;Biden&nbsp;sexually assaulted her in 1993 said in a video interview on Thursday that he should withdraw from the White House race,&nbsp;saying Thursday she'd take a polygraph about the alleged encounter if he would.

Tara Reade's comments in an television interview came six days after&nbsp;Biden&nbsp;said in his first public remarks about the alleged incident that it "never happened."

In an interview, Tara Reade urged&nbsp;Biden to "please step forward and be held accountable".

She added: "You should not be running on character for the president of the United States."

The 56-year-old&nbsp;has claimed Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993, when she was working as a staffer in his Senate office.

The former Senate staffer added that she has been hacked and received a death threat since accusing Biden of sexual assault.

Responding to Reade's latest interview,&nbsp;Biden's deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, said on Thursday that "more and more inconsistencies keep emerging" in Reade's account.

The statement did not address Reade's call for&nbsp;Biden&nbsp;to drop out of the race.

Reade&nbsp;told media interviewers she complained at the time about sexual harassment, though not sexual assault, to three of&nbsp;Biden's Senate aides.

A 1996 court document indicated that Reade had told her ex-husband she was sexually harassed while working for Joe Biden.

The&nbsp;Biden&nbsp;campaign released a statement from one, Marianne Baker, who said she never received any report of inappropriate behavior in nearly 20 years of working for&nbsp;Biden.

Biden&nbsp;last week asked the Secretary of the Senate to make public any records containing a complaint or other documents relating to Reade's allegation, if they exist. The Senate denied the request because of confidentiality requirements.

Some prominent Democratic women including US&nbsp;House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and US&nbsp;Senator and former presidential rival Elizabeth Warren have defended&nbsp;Biden, who was President Barack Obama’s vice president.

Biden's assault accuser calls on him to quit US Presidential race

In first public remarks, US Presidential candidate Joe Biden on Friday denied any sexual assault allegations related to a former staffer in his US Senate office.

The incident she claimed occurred in 1993 "They aren't true. This never happened,", Biden said in an e-mailed statement.&nbsp;

Biden also said Reade's then-supervisor and former senior staffers in his office "have said, unequivocally, that she never came to them and complained or raised issues."

Biden's statement comes a month after constant grilling by media for his silence over the accusations. A lot of people including his democratic colleagues urged Biden to come out in public and directly respond to the accusations.

A California woman named Tara Reade, who worked as a staff assistant in Biden's US Senate office from December 1992 to August 1993, has accused Biden in media interviews of pinning her against a wall in 1993, reaching under her skirt and pushing his fingers inside her.

Reade, 56, told media interviewers she complained at the time about sexual harassment, though not sexual assault, to three of Biden's Senate aides. The Biden campaign released a statement from one, Marianne Baker, who said she never received any report of inappropriate behavior in nearly 20 years of working for Biden.

Biden is set to challenge Republican President Donald Trump, 73, in the November 3 US election. Trump has been accused by more than a dozen women of sexual assault and misconduct over the years, allegations he and his aides have denied.
