Joe Biden told ABC News this morning that there’s “a chance” he’ll challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016. He called the race “wide-open.”
“Mr. Vice President, as you know the presidential campaigns are heating up on both sides,” said the ABC host. “Secretary Clinton is lining up staff and support includes many members of President Obama’s team. Our latest poll shows she’s the overwhelming choice of Democrats. Is there any chance you’re going to challenge her?”
“Yes,” Biden said laughing, “there’s a chance, but I haven’t made up my mind about that. We got a lot of work to do between now and then. There’s plenty of time. Look, the person who is going to end–and Secretary Clinton is really competent, capable person, and a friend–the person who is going to be the next president of the United States is the one that’s going to be able to articulate the clearest vision to the American people of where they’re going to take the country.”
“I think this is wide open on both sides,” Biden went on to add.
