Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday in Iowa that she had not privately talked with Vice President Joe Biden about whether he was considering a run for the presidency, according to Politico.

Clinton told journalists during the Iowa campaign stop that she hadn’t had a private conversation with Biden since he reportedly began considering a bid for the presidency. Neither Clinton nor her top campaign aides have received information or a briefing on what his thinking process is, she said, according to Politico.

“I haven’t asked for that,” Clinton said, according to the news outlet. “I just want the vice president to do what’s right for him and his family. I don’t think it’s useful to be behind the scenes, asking this or saying that. I’ve done none of that. I just want him to reach whatever the right decision is.”
