Many have speculated that because of this, and perhaps his experiences in the White House thus far, he hasn’t the heart or care to run for the 2016 Presidential spot.

Pressed on the Biden research, Clinton said, “first of all, I have no knowledge of it”.
Beau Biden’s death was a second tragic loss for the vice president. “If she collapses, he can”.
Logistically, time is running short as well. An afternoon announcement will lead every news program, and give Biden all of the attention just as voters are starting to tune in for the first Democratic debate.
Either way, Draft Biden thinks he’s the man for the job.
“That’s a very tall order”, the strategist said, “one that looks nearly insurmountable at this point”.
That’s an impressive level of support and organization for a candidate who hasn’t actually entered the race. “It will be up to you in this changing world to translate those unprecedented capabilities into a greater measure of happiness and meaning, not just for yourself but for the world around you”, Biden is heard saying. “Identifying them and getting those who aren’t already committed to a campaign takes time”.
Clinton’s campaign did not respond to IBT questions about whether she supports or opposes the Obama administration’s proposal to rescind the student debt provisions of the Biden-backed law. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and several lower-profile candidates. “Maybe’s” fine with me; I’d personally be fine with him admitting he’s offering himself as a fallback option if something bad happens to the field.
“Nobody has more respect for the Vice President and his family than we do”, Josh Alcorn, senior adviser to the group, said in a statement to The Hill.
The vice president’s office declined a request for confirmation that Biden felt that way about the ad, or additional comment on the incident. Elizabeth Warren, a favorite of the progressive base with whom he met privately in August, stoking talk of a possible dream ticket of Democratic luminaries. The VP goes on to say that the vehicle accident made him a better parent and a stronger person.
New polling from Quinnipiac University in the swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania provides a clue as to where Biden might be able to draw a sharp – and winning – contrast with Clinton: on honesty.
With the Democratic race in flux, Hillary Clinton’s husband sat down with Stephen Colbert late Tuesday.
Skipping the head-to-head match-up is likewise a low-risk for Biden, he said. Two weeks later, his oldest son, Beau Biden, died of cancer.
The ad, titled “Redemption”, shows Biden’s career in Washington, starting with a December 1972 vehicle crash that killed his wife and daughter and left his sons badly injured and hospitalized for months.
The ad is scheduled to air this week on cable television channels in the US. If it’s purely created to convince Mr Biden to run as part of his personal “redemption”, Politico’s Roger Simon recently offered a few words of warning: “Campaigns are meat grinders”.

Delaware’s The News Journal said a Biden spokesperson called the story “offensive”. The vice president’s story is synonymous to so many Americans.
