Vice President Joe Biden opened up about his presidential prospects in the latest issue of GQ, telling the magazine that he’d’ be at peace if he never makes it to the White House — but that doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t run in 2016.
“I can die a happy man never having been president of the United States of America,” Biden said in the interview. “But it doesn’t mean I won’t run.”
Hillary Clinton remains the odds-on favorite to claim the Democratic nomination in 2016 but Biden is widely thought to be party’s back-up option if the former secretary of state doesn’t run. Polls of the next presidential race have shown huge separation between the two, with Clinton routinely claiming more than 60 percent support among Democratic voters.
