Vice President Joe Biden is not preparing to participate in the first Democratic debate and is unlikely to unveil plans regarding a potential third run for President until late October, according to a report from CNN on Thursday.
While Biden supporters have been busy setting up a support network in case the vice president decides to enter the race, Biden has been clear about taking his time about mounting another campaign.
In late September, Biden told Catholic news organization America Media that running would be a “family decision,” especially following the death of his son Beau.
Biden is 72.
The first Democratic debate is Oct. 13 in Las Vegas. The debate criteria would allow Biden to participate as long as he declares his candidacy by the morning of the debate.
Joe–Do something or get off the pot.
How do you ‘skip’ something you never planned to attend in the first place?
I doubt Joe is running.
So why doesn’t he just come out and say as much already so we can move on?
The only reason this tease of his makes any sense at all is if he knows something that we don’t about Hillary Clinton, that the you-know-what will hit the fan in the near future and he expects to be able to come to the Democrats’ rescue. But what indication is there of something suddenly crippling Hillary’s campaign like that? She badly mismanaged the email “scandal” and having the emails be revealed so slowly isn’t good either. But no devastating bombshells have come out of that so far.
