U.S. Vice President Biden decides against running for president

In the same vein, Republican candidate Donald Trump tweeted: “Personally I would rather run against Hillary because her record is so bad”. The executive director of the El Paso County Republican Party, Daniel Cole, says Biden choosing to stay on the sidelines only helps the GOP.

One Biden adviser told the Herald the vice president’s political team had an effective structure in place to quickly launch an organization and identify donors, even with the short timetable between now and the early nominating contests next year. “They’re the opposition, they’re not the enemy”.

On the other hand, the ABC News poll results also showed good news for the former secretary as she gained 12 points from last month and now has 54 percent support, CBS News reported.

But what was widely hailed as a command performance by Clinton in the October. 13 Democratic debate turned the tide back in her favour and quieted talk that she was vulnerable in her quest for her party’s nomination for the November 2016 election.

But with his potential campaign now off the table, Clinton is the clear favorite for the nomination.

“I urged him not to run because of the tragedies he’s gone through”, 20th District Congressman Sam Farr said.

Born in Scranton, Biden moved to Delaware with his family when he was still in grade school.

“Unfortunately, I believe we’re out of time”, said Biden, flanked by his wife, Jill, and the president. “They have a life-long commitment to service to our country and I know they will continue to serve in the ways that feel right for them and their family”, said Clinton. On the campaign trail, he refers to himself as a democratic socialist. He had been drawing large crowds during his campaign sorties and remained competitive with Hilary Clinton in fundraising and key states’ polls. Biden supporters will now be faced with a choice between two viable candidates.

US Vice-President Joe Biden will not seek the presidency, he announced in a surprise appearance at the White House on Wednesday.

Another official, spokesman Eric Schultz, said Obama had served as a “sounding board” for Biden during the process.
