While he’s been mulling a 2020 bid for what seems like years, Vice President Joe Biden will reportedly decide whether he’s running in the next two weeks, The New York Times reported.

Biden has told friends and allies that he doesn’t think other Democratic candidates have what it takes to make Donald Trump a one-term president. Biden has not yet told allies what his decision will be, but family is a focal point for him, friends told the Times.

Biden reportedly told a top Democratic aide last week that he will likely run and has been advised make a decision quickly.
