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.
Its no secret that hes thinking about this, the younger Biden said. Im glad hes thinking about this. But he hasnt 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.

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.

(10,044 posts)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.
I hope he seriously considers running.

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.
