Vice President Joe Biden told reporters on Monday that he was “not committing to anything” but wouldn’t rule out a 2020 run for president, because “what the hell, man.”
Asked by reporters if he plans to run again, Biden said, “Yeah, I am. I’m going to run in 2020.”
“For what?” a reporter asked.
“For president!” Biden responded, amid laughter from the press. “What the hell, man.”
“We’re going to run with that,” NBC News’ Kelly O’Donnell warned him.
“That’s okay,” Biden replied. “That’s okay.”
Another reporter asked Biden to clarify whether he was serious.
“I’m not committing not to run,” he said. “I’m not committing to anything. I learned a long time ago, fate has a strange way of intervening.”
Listen to the exchange:
I’m confuzzled. Is he saying that he’s committing not to run in 2020, or is he committing to run in 2020? Or is he not committing? Or should he be committed?
Love Joe, but this is why he’ll never be president. Although against Drumpf he’d stand a very good chance.
i love ya joe…but your time has passed…and just a tiny bit of criticism…joe…it is NEVER to early to make the people feel like you are pissed and will fight…people are very angry…and you HAVE TO come out swinging!
“where have you gone joe…”
Great Joe, go for it. You’ll be 78 and on top of your game as always, Trump will be 74 and if impeached before 2020, Bob Dole, at 97, will be waiting in the wings! Sanders will be 79 and scary to look at by then, but Hillary will only be 73 and I’ve heard she’s already making plans for another run. But there’s an issue as she’s become emotionally attached to her server and refuses to give it up.
i took it to be a maybe I’ll run if we really can’t find anyone else to put up.
Sadly, I think it’s going to have to be a straight white male Democratic candidate with a ton of personality
So sad. Words fail.
