The 2016 buzz about the Democratic presidential race has been dominated by two names: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. But there is a growing expectation that Vice President Joe Biden will jump in, especially if his boss wins reelection in November.
Biden’s candidacy had been dismissed by some because he would be the oldest-ever person elected president at age 74, five years older than Ronald Reagan who currently holds that record.
But associates and allies tell Secrets that Biden has remarkably become more energetic and engaged as veep. One even noted that he appears younger than when he was elected in 2008.
So how does he beat Clinton and Cuomo? It’s all about the economy, said one associate. “If, like under Bill Clinton, the economy revives, then it’s the veep who can take some credit and win.”
