Vice President Joe Biden says there’s still a chance that he could decide to run for president in 2016, potentially pitting him against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who is also still undecided.
“Yes, there is a chance,” Biden said Wednesday on Good Morning America. “But I haven’t made my mind up about that. We’ve got a lot of work to do between now and then. There’s plenty of time.”
He also said he didn’t need to decide whether he would run for president or not until the summer of 2015.
Biden has regularly floated possibly running for president in 2016, even if that means running against Clinton, often the frontrunner in polling of the potential Democratic field. In the same interview Biden described Clinton as someone who’s a “really competent, capable person and friend.”

His chances of winning the election or even securing the nomination seem minimal at best. Still, the eventual nominee needs some worthy competition in the primaries and Biden would provide that.
I call BS. There is no chance Joe B runs for President in 2016.
No, he has been pretty consistent about intending to run for quite some time…basically as soon as the 2012 campaign was over. He is definitely in it.
But it speaks volumes about his chances when he has to go on GMA and basically remind everyone that he is a candidate, too.
I would suggest again that Biden is the reason Hillary has made no announcement yet. There is some protocol to follow here.
Bad Idea Joe, bad idea.
