For Biden, no respite from the 2016 spotlight

“Detroit is resilient. It’s tough and defined by a work ethic that is unmatched by any place in the world”, the vice president said. The fundraisers who initiated the letter consulted Draft Biden in preparing their appeal. “And they’re the same folks, I suspect, that have denied gravity”, Biden joked at the evening conference of Chinese and American political leaders in downtown L.A. Air Force Two now bustles with reporters weighing Biden’s every public utterance.

Biden has been hesitant to join the race because of the emotional toll it takes, and he is still coping with the recent death of his son Beau.

The summit fulfills a key element of the U.S.-China Joint Announcement on Climate Change laid out by President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping last November. The vice president’s office said it would not comment on the letter.

Some OSU students who attended the event say they had never received any education on the issue from the university. That process will continue, independent of any movement to draft Biden, a source close to the vice president told Reuters.

Clinton, once thought to be a shoe-in for the nomination, has seen her status as frontrunner fade over the ongoing email scandal during her time as secretary of state.

Biden, who is Catholic, urged the group not to feel “down” about Trump’s popularity, noting that Pope Francis was about to visit the United States and likely would have a very different message about welcoming immigrants. Neither Clinton, nor U.S. Sen.

Some, such as party fundraiser Lou Frillman, had already signed up to help Clinton’s campaign. Even though a majority of majority of people know he’s right, don’t be distracted. Referring to Frank Cownie – mayor of Des Moines, in the first presidential primary state – Biden began to call him his friend, then paused. It has hired operatives in all three states.

Clinton’s testimony and the Democratic debate gives Biden the flawless entry point as he is rising in the polls and fares the best in general election matchups with the major Republican frontrunners. They hailed the Obama-Biden administration “spectacular success”, emphasizing “job creation, a lower unemployment rate, new health insurance policies for almost 9 million Americans and the end of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan”. Bernie Sanders, (I-VT), who has also generated support within the party, are mentioned in the letter.

While he largely stuck to the topic of climate change, Biden wryly referred to the speculation over his political ambitions.
