Biden-Warren 2016? Meeting renews questions over ‘Plan B’ presidential run

Biden’s meeting with Warren was the latest sign that the vice president is seriously considering entering the race, and that he’s increasingly discussing it with Democratic leaders outside of his small cadre of longtime advisers. On Monday, Obama and Biden met for their weekly lunch in the Oval Office.

Biden’s recent overtures to donors and Democratic officials have led to palpable awkwardness in the West Wing as aides – many with close ties to Clinton, the vice president or both – try to maintain impartiality.

“I would not describe the president as torn, principally because this is a personal decision that someone has to make to decide to run for president”, Earnest said.

Mr Biden has been huddling with senior advisers to evaluate options for taking on former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front runner who has struggled to overcome fallout from her use of a private e-mail server while working as the nation’s top diplomat.

Clinton further strengthened her Indian American ties when she was secretary of state by placing a strong emphasis on building better relations between India and the US, Islam said.

Vice President Biden is significantly behind other 2016 presidential candidates in money and organization but can still win the White House if he enters the race within the next several weeks, Josh Alcorn, a ringleader in the effort to get Biden to run, said Sunday.

“The vice president has not made a decision about his political future”, Barkoff told the Wall Street Journal. “And I think his wisdom, I think his experience would add much to this”.

Republicans were fearful that his openly anti-immigrant stance will unsettle the old Republican supporters among Latinos.

I wouldn’t want to be an easy-to-reach vase at the Clintons’ vacation retreat in the Hamptons, nor the maid who’ll be spending her weekend cleaning up glass shards and scattered flower arrangements.

The announcement comes amid speculation that Biden could launch a 2016 Presidential bid. Elizabeth Warren, underscores the length he is going to explore a run. “He’s a very, very good and decent man. It would be nice to have at least one more lifelong Democrat in the race”, said Martin O’Malley, a Democratic presidential candidate.

The inside-the-beltway chatter about a possible Biden-Warren 2016 ticket also drew attention from writer John Fund who authored a piece just published by National Review.
