Biden Considering US Presidential Run

“Obviously, Bernie Sanders has been doing well, but this is really a realization that someone could effectively take on Hillary Clinton and that could be Joe Biden“.

One of the issues that might sway Biden to run is the recent death of his son, who desired his father seek the presidency.

“I don’t think that he’s going to be that effective as a campaigner”, he said of Biden. “They are biding their time and holding their fire until Joe is ready to make that decision”. This is the exact dichotomy that Biden could bring to the Democratic primary if he were to enter the race.

Liberals have rallied behind Sen.

If confirmed, Biden’s entry would pose a direct threat to Clinton, who so far has been an undisputable front-runner of the Democratic field. Anyone who believes he has is wrong. Those reports heightened speculation about his plans, which he will likely decide on by early September. He’s been an “excellent vice president”, Earnest said. He’s a resilient man, basically, who’s just a testament of public service. “He has the ability to wait later in this process than nearly any other Democrat”.

Biden’s son, Beau, died of brain cancer in May.

Clinton has been the presumed Democratic frontrunner for more than a year. As Rudy Giuliani once put it, ‘I’ve never seen a vice president that has made as many mistakes, said as many stupid things.

Jennifer Palmieri, communications director for the Clinton campaign, says she isn’t anxious about a possible Biden bid.

While Biden could certainly make Clinton uncomfortable, his candidacy comes with some unique disadvantages that don’t necessarily show up in a head-to-head comparison.

Whilepeople close to the vice president told Bloomberg that Biden continues to keep the door open to a third presidential run, they insisted he has made no definitive moves.

“He wasn’t testing the waters with me”, Susman said of Ricchetti. Should Biden run, it will make for an interesting campaign all around. He actually is weighing how this is able to influence his family, he stated. Joe Biden, though still undeclared, is polling at 13 percent, The Telegraph reported. Many say the vice-president is being pushed by the memory of his 46-year-old son wanting him to run. Biden however, has been an active and engaged vice president, frequently brokering deals between the administration and Congress from behind the scenes.

Alcorn, previously a top fundraiser for U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, will help raise money for the Draft Biden organization. Clinton has some baggage and she also has a husband who will sooner or later feel the need to get into the campaign. The New York Times reported on Saturdaythat the vice president is actively exploring a potential campaign.

“Democratic supporters are hungry for a race”.

“Josh joining the Draft Biden effort only increases the serious nature of what to date has been an enormously successful effort”, Pierce said late Sunday. And you’re very right. Furthermore, Biden – by all reports, an affable, easy-going sort – enjoys a much better relationship with the mainstream media than Hillary.
