Vice President Joe Biden said he would have beat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton if he chose to run for president.
“I thought I could beat Hillary. I thought I could beat anybody that ran. No one should run for president unless they think they can do that,” Biden told CNN in an interview released Saturday.

His response was to a question about whether he regretted not running for president now that Clinton’s victory appears in jeopardy given Friday’s decision by the FBI to reopen a case into Clinton’s use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state.
“I didn’t run for one simple, overarching reason: My son was dying and he died,” said Biden. “That’s the total reason. I have great respect for Hillary.”
