Harry Reid: Sorry, Joe Biden Will Not Be at Democratic Debate

President Obama might have given his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a lukewarm defense about her private email server, which might be for his legacy’s benefit rather than her political future.

Those close to Biden told Reuters that the vice president, still grief-stricken over the death of his son Beau from brain cancer in May, has not yet settled upon a course of action and is determined to stay true to his personal timetable.

Before Tuesday’s broadcast, 24-year-old Law said his support for Hillary waned when Sanders introduced campaign finance reform to his platform – and that he wouldn’t count on a Biden ’16 campaign.

The problem for Biden was that the media went looking for other more cases plagiarism, and they found it, the Post reported.

Clinton and Sanders, as well as Martin O’Malley, Lincoln Chafee and Jim Webb, are all expected at the Tuesday debate in Las Vegas.

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a friend and former Senate colleague across the aisle from Biden, said he thinks the vice president will say yes to another presidential bid – and soon.

Tuesday night’s Democratic debate has quite a few people yammering in anticipation.

Beyond benefiting from the “Oh, he’s that guy” phenomenon, O’Malley needs a moment (or three) that allows him to stand out to voters – and to the people (like me) who watch this stuff obsessively. I don’t think there’s any politician at a national level that has not thought about being the president.

As Vice President Joe Biden ponders whether or not to run for president in 2016, claims that he was a tyrant to those who worked for him, and even plagiarized speeches during his first presidential run, have been revisited.

DNC leadership duke it out after vice chairwoman Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said that there should be more debates.

In addition, Biden’s record and political career would get a thorough-going review by the media; opposition research by other candidates would also enter the information stream. She will need them down the road.

“I am going to let Joe make that decision”, he said. I think he’ll do very well if he does make it to New Jersey.

Although Biden’s presence, and speculation about what might ensue if he joins the race, will be a hot topic of conversation, plenty onstage should keep you entertained. Sanders has little patience for the theatrics of politics and has resisted traditional debate prep. An aide noted he has plenty of material, citing Sanders’ eight-hour 2010 filibuster on the Senate floor.
