Biden Stumped on a Reason to Skip Presidential Race
Published at
David Lienemann/The White House(WASHINGTON) — Want to leave Vice President Joe Biden without much to say? Ask him why he shouldn’t run for president.
Asked Friday on CNN’s New Day whether Biden could name a reason to not run for president, the answer was two words, “I can’t.”
“There may be reasons I don’t run, but there’s no obvious reason for me why I think I should not run,” he added.
But speculation surrounding a possible Hillary Clinton run is increasing by the day, and donors and political operatives from President Obama’s past campaigns are lining up behind her prospective bid.
“For me,” Biden said, “the decision to run or not run is going to be determined by me as to whether I am the best qualified person to focus on the two things I’ve spent my whole life on: giving ordinary people a fighting chance to make it and a sound foreign policy that’s based on rational interests of the United States, where we not only are known for the power of our military, but the power of our example.”
As to when he’ll decide, Biden said that he’ll make a decision by the summer of 2015.
