Biden was challenged by fictional VP Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who plays the vice president on the HBO comedy series Veep.

Instead, the Vice President said via Twitter that has made a donation “in honor of my late friend.”
The awareness campaign for amyotropic lateral sclerosis, or ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, has become a viral social media sensation as people douse themselves with a bucket of ice water and then challenge others to do the same.
More than $41 million dollars have been raised for ALS, compared to $2 million during the same period last year.
President Barack Obama passed on pouring freezing water over his head and made a donation instead.
Former President George W. Bush challenged his predecessor, Bill Clinton.
