Washington: United States Vice President Joe Biden is reportedly in consideration for entering the 2016 presidential race, a move which will throw yet another obstacle in Democratic Hillary Clinton's way. Although no major announcements have been made yet, it is said he will announce his bid to run for president, soon.
“What the Vice President has said publicly is that a possible campaign for the presidency is something that he’s considering, and he anticipated that he would make a decision by the end of this summer,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters.
Even if Biden chooses to go ahead with the move, he will have much lesser time than the others to prepare for his campaign. He'd need to build out a crew of field organizers and volunteers, sign talented operatives and court local politicians' support, and more. “Most campaigns use summer to set up field staff and are ready to roll to organization in the fall,” Democrat Tom Henderson said. “If he waits too much longer, it's probably going to be too late.”
