Though former Vice President Joe Biden was widely expected to announce his campaign launch this week, those plans may now be in flux as his team vacillates between different locations and timing options, according to a Monday Philadelphia Inquirer report.
The initial plan, as first reported by the Atlantic, was a video announcement on Wednesday followed by campaign stops in Charlottesville, Virginia then Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney’s office has reportedly received no permit requests for the big event spaces where Biden would likely speak, if the city was still part of the rollout plan.
Biden has been mulling the decision to enter the race for months, sustaining hits like accusations of making women uncomfortable with his touchiness, but still consistently leading the polls with his hypothetical candidacy.
Come on Joe, Piss or get off of the pot.
The perfect time was 2 months ago
Something doesn’t seem right that he’s dragged this out for months and just can’t get everything right before he announces.
It’s a huge decision for anyone to make and especially for someone in his position. I am not surprised by, and I don’t mind, the wavering but for his own sake he should have kept it under wraps.
Four comments in, and “shit or get off the pot” has already been sniped out from under me!
All the other candidates are ready to advance the conversation. We’re sitting around waiting for Mr. Biden to rise from atop his hands. It’s a monumental decision, sure, but fifteen? other serious or serious-ish candidates have already successfully made it.
And it is not like running for president is new to Biden. It will be his 3rd time.
No previous nomination losers for me. I will thank previous nomination losers for showing us in the past they can lose so I don’t waste my primary vote on them.
I wish we learned that lesson on 2008/2016
