Hillary Clinton is going to make the most of her time in Minnesota later this month.
U.S. President Barack Obama (R) and Vice President Joe Biden walk back to the Oval Office after speaking about the Supreme Court ruling to uphold the nationwide availability of tax subsidies under Obamacare. In fact, Biden in the race will sharpen both his, Sanders’ and Clinton’s platforms during the debates, and prepare them for the showdown against whomever emerges from the Republican free for all. A Biden campaign obviously would lack the emotional cachet of electing the first woman chief executive.
Before Obama selected him as his vice president nominee for the 2008 elections, Biden has had at least two unsuccessful presidential bids.
Things won’t get any easier for Clinton if, as rumored, Vice-President Joe Biden decides to enter the race.
The issue is a bit more complex for Democrats like Hillary Clinton. According to Dowd, Biden has been quietly consulting friends and former contributors about a run for the nomination.
From stories about a death bed request from his son to ones about a growing draft movement, the national media has recently fueled conjecture Vice President Biden may be preparing to run for president again.
The response from Clinton’s campaign has been mannerly and muted.
Numerous senators emphasized the personal nature of the decision, saying Biden needed to listen his family-still grieving just two months after the loss of Beau Biden, the vice president’s oldest son. Sen.
Today, the Clinton campaign will introduce its first television advertisements in Iowa and New Hampshire, which the campaign manager, Robby Mook, called “the natural next step” as Clinton is “working to earn every vote”. “And there’s not a driving passion for a Biden candidacy which would help in raising money and building organization”.
He went on to become the nation’s 42nd president.
Some of the most analytic campaign observers doubt it ever will come to that. Bernie Sanders has attracted large crowds with his liberal economic message evidence his team says of a hunger in the party for an alternative to Clinton. He’d need to build out a crew of field organizers and volunteers, sign talented operatives and court local politicians’ support, and more – all in much less time than Clinton and other contenders like Vermont Sen.
One, focused on conversations he and his associates were having with Democratic leaders and donors “who have not yet committed to Mrs. Clinton”.

And now? A new Gallup poll indicates that since 2012, the percentage of voters with a favorable view of Clinton has fallen from 66 percent to 43 percent – while her unfavorable number has jumped from 29 percent to 46 percent.
