Biden supports trade deal despite opposition from unions

AFL-CIO strategic adviser Eric Hauser said TPP has a big part of the higher-wages agenda his group will use to evaluate all candidates. Bernie Sanders at 24 percent. They say that the question of whether he and his family are ready to endure the rigor of a campaign so soon after Beau’s death has not been answered conclusively enough to push ahead.

And if Biden gets in, Clinton promised she will “continue to speak positively”. “Obviously we will honor his wishes.” said Josh Alcorn, a top Draft Biden organizer and former political director for Beau Biden. And as another Biden friend anxious to me, “The moment he’s in he becomes just another candidate, in their words, “most of the warm and fuzzy feelings quickly go away”. “The honest-to-God answer is I just don’t know”, Biden said while speaking at an Atlanta synagogue on September 3.

Biden’s staff has strongly refuted the allegation.

Vice President Joe Biden will not be on stage for the first Democratic debate on Tuesday, but his biography and accomplishments will be heavily featured next week in a 90-second television ad from supporters urging him to jump into the 2016 presidential race.

Union workers shouted “Run, Joe, run“, as he marched in a Labor Day parade last month with AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka, who also met privately with Biden as he weighs a 2016 campaign.

You have to wonder what Biden’s brain looks like.

The joke was a knock on the job once held by Hillary Clinton, his potential Democratic rival.

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

The ad, titled “Redemption”, shows Biden’s career in Washington, starting with a December 1972 auto crash that killed his wife and daughter and left his sons badly injured and hospitalized for months.

Joe Biden running for President?

Clinton again said that she had no knowledge of what Brock and the PAC were doing and said that she has continually put out public statements suggesting that she would give Biden the space and time to decide whether he wants to join the race. “But he has seen the ad and thinks the ad treads on sacred ground and hopes they don’t run it”.

The speech brings his recent personal tragedy to the forefront as well.

New reports show that Hillary’s team is taking the gloves off-and is prepared to leak secret, damaging stories about the Vice President in order to destroy his reputation before he even throws his hat in the ring.

“I don’t know anything about what you’re saying”, Clinton told PBS New Hour’s Judy Woodruff when asked about reports that Correct the Record is digging into the political pasts of Sanders and Biden.
