Joe Biden 'Thinking About' Running For President, Son Beau Biden Says

[UrbScotty]

Vice President Joe Biden is well aware that the loudest rumblings about the 2016 presidential election are currently coming from supporters of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton -- he experienced their enthusiasm firsthand last week.

Yet while the Clinton speculation already appears to have kicked into overdrive, Biden's son, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, recently told The New York Times that his father isn't closing any doors, especially with Clinton still maintaining that her career in public office is over.

“It’s no secret that he’s thinking about this,” the younger Biden said. “I’m glad he’s thinking about this. But he hasn’t made up his mind.”

Clinton, on the other hand, has said her mind is made up. But many supporters believe she has left the door open for a 2016 run. Last week, she added fuel to the fire, announcing a book deal and delivering high-profile speeches in New York and Washington, D.C.

1. HAPPY to hear it!

Supported him, support him now, and WILL support him!!!

[Marie Marie]

2. Ditto!

He would make a great president and he is not afraid to fight for his beliefs. He is smart and seasoned and knows how to work the Congress. And, may I add, Jill would make a wonderful FLOTUS.

3. Yes, Jill would make a wonderful FLOTUS!

6. I think we did good

Got 2 smart "people" President and Vice President, and two very appealing First and Second Ladies.

That hasn't happened ever - sometimes one was nice, but never all 4.

5. Absolutely!

I hope he seriously considers running.

4. I've been thinking about it since 2008 . . .

The Michigan fiasco of a primary hurt his chances - but I love Obama.

I hope he runs. An older Biden not as fast on his feet is better than any Dems I can think of, at least till Warren is a bit older.

7. Wouldn't it be great if Beau and Chelsea ran the same year for President?

Alas, I'll be dead, or incapacitated, locked in some home without DU....
and will miss all the fighting..
