Draft Biden group puts up ad: ‘Joe, run’

“I know”, Biden says in the opening moments of the ad, which is titled “My Redemption”. “But I’m not asking, and I don’t approve of anybody who is supporting me, or who say they support me, to be focusing on anyone other than the Republicans”. “I think he will heed the call to run and if he does, there will be a lot of potential vice president candidates because he will come with an open mind”. In public comments since his son’s death, Biden has emphasized that his losses are no worse than those experienced by many Americans, and that he deserves no special sympathy.

But for right now, Halperin said, Biden continues to explore his options because “he just likes to talk”.

Former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, who would be Biden’s chief rival if he runs, is preparing to drop a batch of opposition research on him if Biden gets in. The Vice President’s office shot this down pretty hard.

The vice president stated publicly on several occasions that he wasn’t ready, emotionally, to take on the tall task of running for president. Started practically from scratch a little more than two months ago, the group recently issued a list of 50 Democratic donors willing to finance a Biden presidential campaign.

As the Draft Biden ad began to run, Alexander declared: “All that’s missing is the candidate”.

New polling from Quinnipiac University in the swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania provides a clue as to where Biden might be able to draw a sharp – and winning – contrast with Clinton: on honesty.

“Obviously, Joe would like to go”, the source tells Klein.

Josh Alcorn, senior adviser to Draft Biden, said the group will honor the VP’s wish not to air the ad.

Beau and Hunter recovered from the auto accident – and so did Joe. His wife and daughter were killed and his two sons were in critical condition.

Clinton’s campaign did not respond to IBT questions about whether she supports or opposes the Obama administration’s proposal to rescind the student debt provisions of the Biden-backed law. Back in Washington on Tuesday, he met with Obama for their regularly scheduled, private luncheon. Bernie Sanders at 24 percent.

The well-attended event is a must for aspiring presidents given Iowa’s standing in the nominating contest. It may simply be that Biden is still gathering the necessary information to help him make a final determination. Biden said while addressing an Atlanta synagogue on September 3. The White House workers summit will offer the first glimpse at how Biden will sell the deal to skeptics as Congress considers its approval.

GUTHRIE: Alright, Peter, thank you so much.

“I’ve been thanked for speaking, apparently out of turn, on Meet the Press”, he said.

‘Emails are a drip-drip annoyance, but it seems unlikely to be a combustion’. And the details of the complicated process of winning enough delegates to secure his party’s nomination might convince Biden that the window to enter the race has passed. See what things look like. A Suffolk University/USA Today poll taken September 24-28 found Ms. Clinton facing daunting favorable/unfavorable numbers-39 percent to 51 percent.

Skipping the head-to-head match-up is likewise a low-risk for Biden, he said.
