Vice President Joe Biden teased supporters of a potential 2016 presidential run by appearing publicly with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., at Georgetown University Thursday.
While the vice president did not announce any future plans, he and Warren talked about the economy. Biden hailed the middle class as the unit “that’s held together our social stability and our economic stability.” He called for bolstering social programs and creating jobs through infrastructure projects.
“We have to have the best-trained workforce in the world and we have to have an infrastructure consistent with 21st century need,” Biden said. “Most Americans think we’ve always had the best infrastructure in the world but they’re finding out we aren’t meeting out needs.”
Warren, who Biden praised as “one of the most articulate” people in Congress, also spoke at the event. Since the two previously met to discuss economic issues, there has been speculation that the progressive darling would make a good Biden running mate.
Biden, who has been mulling over a run for the Democratic nomination for months, is reportedly near a decision. Biden would have to make moves by Nov. 6 in order to ensure he is on the primary ballot in every state.
