Beau Biden, died this year of cancer.

Yet the Biden deliberations continue to be a distraction on multiple levels. “This is the last opportunity for him to realize his dream”. NBC’s “Today Show” debuted portions of the ad Wednesday morning. “If she collapses, he can”. He’d have to ramp up a campaign organization and raise a huge amount of money in a ridiculously short amount of time. It’s a sign that Biden may have been testing the waters-although there’s been speculation about a possible 2016 bid from the VP for a while, the piece that Dowd released on August 1 really added fuel to that fire. Joe Biden lost to Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis in the Democratic primary. But close aides insisted he hasn’t made a final decision.
“Don’t say that”, Biden responded, as the room erupted with cheers. Sources told CNN he is expected to make his decision after a “family conversation” this weekend in Delaware.
Biden has said caring for his two sons was what got him through the heartbreak of losing his wife and daughter. “But Biden outperforms Clinton in general election match-ups in those critical swing states”.
In recent national polls, Biden consistently polls in third place behind Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Because if she loses to Bernie Sanders in Iowa or New Hampshire or both, I guarantee you, look at history of the Democratic Party, there’ll be panic.
For that reason, a few Biden friends are anxious that a campaign will only badly damage his legacy.
Either way, Draft Biden thinks he’s the man for the job. Now it’s Vice President Joe Biden stumping for TPP.
White House reporters were hungry for a taste of what it might be like behind closed doors when Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama sat down for their weekly lunch in the private dining room on Tuesday.
“We need your help”. “The honest-to-God answer is I just don’t know”, Biden said while speaking at an Atlanta synagogue on September 3.
Without a definitive signal from Biden, though, the independent effort promoting his candidacy has ramped up – sometimes in ways that don’t conform to his wishes. His first wife and infant daughter were killed in a vehicle accident in 1972.
The Hollywood-production-value spot is titled “My Redemption”, and it manages to be slick and heartfelt at the same time, mixing simple images with a philosophical-sounding Biden.
The video ad, produced by the Draft Biden super PAC, is an emotion-laden affair called “My Redemption”.
Should he run, Biden would do well to play up the idea that he might not always take a position that everyone in his party will agree with, but they will always know he is being honest with them about where he stands.

“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. It all comes as Biden’s aides are blasting as “offensive” and “categorically false” a report accusing him of being politically “calculating” while mourning his son’s passing.
