Officer injured in VP Biden’s motorcade in NY
The next minute, he seems light-years away from convincing himself hes ready to run _ a man still reeling from personal tragedy. But, should he announce he is running for president, he will become a target for Republicans.
He also said the meeting focused on the more mundane policy topics like the Export-Import Bank and rebuilding United States infrastructure. More than anything, he’s authentic.
Rumors are swirling around Biden’s possible bid for the presidency, and his appearance on The Late Show may seem like a calculated ploy to tug at the heartstrings of American voters.
Another concern for Biden would be how to campaign against Hillary Clinton.
Doing so created an opening for front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton to consolidate her partys support. “If he doesn’t know yet”, Wolf said coyly, “how would I?”
That struck a familiar note for people in Washington.
Tragedy has visited Biden before. Colbert threw non-partisanship out the door, but he also led the vice president through a series of serious questions that transcended the late-night genre.
Working Families Party State Director Bill Lipton said the growing political heft of fast-food workers is now too great to ignore. “I think I would match up very well against him“. Wolf raised half a million dollars for Obama’s presidential campaigns in both his 2008 and 2012 runs.
The tone of the interview drew a contrast with Clinton, who nearly never shows her personality in large public settings and is seeing her likeable ratings plummet in polls. “The grievous loss he has suffered — trying to heal from that, and deal with that grief — I think has to take precedence over politics”.
The Draft Biden group received a large boost when Josh Alcorn, a former Biden campaign staffer turned aide and friend to Biden’s late son Beau, joined in August as a paid staffer.
“Lots of scenarios floating around”, said one Draft Biden official about the potential for a decision later in the fall than originally expected.
If Biden does run, his ability to pass an authenticity test even in a place such as the quarters of Rescue 1 could be decisive.
Even those who have worked with Biden and seen him over the years were surprised by the Colbert interview. Biden has failed twice to be elected president, in 1988 and 2007.
A visibly mourning Biden, using little more than a whisper, interjected with a “thank you“.
These are taboos that are rarely broached in front of strangers at the best of times, but the vice-president, whose eldest son Beau died of cancer in May, is at the centre of fevered speculation about not just whether he can keep it together in the limelight of his current job, but whether he will run for president.
“I find the people I’m most drawn to are people who have been hurt”, Biden said to Colbert, “and I’m not going to embarrass you, buddy, but you’re one of them”.
All three men were given navy FDNY baseball caps before Cuomo told hundreds preparing to bike downtown, “When you make that ride, the symbolism is, just imagine what was going through their head that day“. Because no matter what happens, Dad, I’m going to be all right. “And when you lose a loved one, especially the way they were lost that day – they walked out of the house in the morning and said ‘goodbye honey, I’ll see you tonight, ‘ and then they were just gone”.
