Vice President Joe Biden To Talk About Economy In Detroit

“Promise me you’ll be all right, because no matter what happens, I’m going to be all right“. I say the rosary and I find it to be incredibly comforting. You can’t do that. Never in the modern era of television and social media has a president or vice president had to grieve so publicly.

That theory was triggered by Cuomo’s dramatic embrace of a $15-an-hour statewide minimum wage, a proposal he unveiled to cheering union activists with Biden at his side. Like most things Biden this summer, there’s no consensus on the answer.

Even though he is not in the primary race, 20 percent of Democratic voters want him to be the nominee, according to a CNN poll released Thursday.

“Bernie Sanders is raising some issues that are important”, Rep. Steny Hoyer (Md.), the Democratic whip, told reporters this week. In addition to the recent death of his son, Biden, whose Scranton, PA Irish roots have similarly been traced by Smolenyak and who was inducted into the Irish America Hall of Fame in 2013, lost his first wife and daughter in a auto accident in 1972. His life has been touched by sorrows that have deepened his awareness of the struggles and suffering of others.

The 2016 presidential campaign is barreling forward with or without him, giving a key advantage to declared candidates whose campaigns have been working for months to complete the tedious task of qualifying for the ballot in each state.

While Donald Trump is a completely different political animal, his surge to the forefront of the Republican primary is often attributed to his brand of non-politician authenticity, saying whatever he feels like, regardless of political consequences.

“The September 11 attacks on our nation and city was a day that changed the course of history and changed us all as Americans”, said Steve Cassidy, Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York President. The Detroit News reported Wednesday that Biden was likely to make a new visit to Michigan soon. A Brookings Institution analysis this week found that a candidate who misses the filing deadlines through January could forfeit as many as 2,232 delegates, a current estimate of the number needed to win the nomination.

Bidens much-anticipated appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” was expected to take on a light and comedic tone, but instead veered nearly immediately into raw and personal territory.

“Took me a long, long, long time”, Biden said to Lorraine Foley, both of them alike in their status as parents whose children died before them. Abraham Lincoln lost a son during the Civil War, and some historians question whether he suffered from clinical depression. During that time he’s invoked his son’s name on occasion.

Biden’s office confirmed he will speak in Detroit on Thursday, declining to offer additional details. Biden didn’t talk politics or tell us how he was going to fix immigration, health care or the economy. “But I don’t think there’s an expectation that’s he’s going to be president of the United States”. Some top advisers – Biden included – considered it too risky. Colbert closed the interview by acknowledging his own desire that Biden run.

Colbert, a fellow Catholic, asked Biden how his faith had helped him, and Biden might’ve been tempted to draw a gentle distinction between himself and politicians who wield their faith like a weapon.
