Carville: Biden ‘hasn’t had the best track record’ running for president
And who knows, maybe Biden is even testing the waters as to whether or not Warren would consider being a vice presidential candidate with him.
US Vice President Joe Biden has held a surprise meeting with senior Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren in Washington, DC, as he looks getting serious to challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for president, reports say.
CNN’s Jeff Zeleny reported the information that he had acquired about the Warren-Biden meeting and what that could mean for a possible 2016 collaboration between the two. But Clinton is weak in New Hampshire and Biden may see the Granite State as a ideal spot to ambush her, taking some momentum going into the southern primaries and destroying the myth of her inevitability.
“If he decides to run – and I hope he’ll – I might be an enormous supporter”, stated Paula Levine, a Democratic fundraiser and Biden household good friend who has raised cash for his earlier campaigns.
“As much as this is about the vacuum in the Democratic Party and some of Hillary’s weaknesses, it’s also about Elizabeth Warren’s strength”, said New York Times reporter Ashley Parker. Her hard line against questionable bank practices in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis won her the dedicated support of many in the party and her endorsement is regarded key prize for those competing for the party’s 2016 nomination. “Several have contributed and are raising money; and others are volunteering for the campaign”, said the Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh, born Indian-American investor.
Biden and Warren have not seen eye to eye on some progressive issues in the past, but are known to be friendly. Clinton was a Republican in her youth, and O’Malley has hit Sanders before for being an independent and self-declared democratic socialist.
Biden ran unsuccessfully for president in 1988 and 2008. Ted Kaufman have hung out there, together with Biden’s grandson, Hunter Biden, and his sister, Valerie Owens Biden, who has performed a prime position in all his earlier campaigns.
Yet as bad as that scenario might be for the Clintons, it’s likely that Bill and Hillary’s inner circle probably still think they can beat both Biden and Sanders.
The current leading Republican presidential candidate, real estate mogul Donald Trump, said he wanted to force the country’s 11 million illegal immigrants out of the country and build an impenetrable wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.
