Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) reportedly met in Washington on Saturday in what CNN described as an indication that he is possibly considering launching a bid for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.

Warren announced in March that she would not run. The two met in Biden’s home at the Naval Observatory, according to CNN.

From the CNN report:

The meeting between Biden and Warren, confirmed by two people familiar with the session, is the biggest indication yet that Biden is feeling out influential Democrats before announcing his intentions.

Beloved by liberal Democrats, Warren decided to sit out a campaign of her own, but she has yet to formally endorse a candidate. In an interview on Friday, she told WBZ in Boston: “I don’t think anyone has been anointed.”

The vice president arrived in Washington shortly before lunchtime, even though his official schedule said he was planning to spend the weekend at his home in Delaware

If Biden chooses to run in 2016, he will be the sixth major candidate competing for the Democrat nomination. A decision is expected in September.

    Or, maybe it’s just a Vice President meeting with a Senator to talk about, y’know, stuff.

  3. But that would mean the media is over hyping something… they would never do that.

    “confirmed by two people familiar with the session” is code for CNN is making this shit up.

  5. Please don’t tell me a freshmen Senator is trying to play king maker. Biden just get in or don’t. If you do I am with you if you don’t please just say so. Either way to me its Biden or Bernie. HRC is to much of a wild card with the public.
