Joe Says No
To the dismay of some and the joy of many more, Joe Biden has elected not to run for election as President.
Joseph Robinette Biden stepped away from a third run for the White House on Wednesday, acknowledging the vice presidency will be as close as he gets to sitting in the Oval Office.He can be an effective campaigner, I hope whoever does win the nomination welcomes him on the campaign trail.
Biden, who announced his decision in the Rose Garden with President Barack Obama and his wife, Jill, at his side, ended months of speculation that he’d heed the deathbed plea of his son, Beau, and run for the presidency amid concerns that the controversy over front runner Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server could become a serious political liability.
“As my family and I have worked through the grieving process, I've said all along what I've said time and again to others, that it may very well be that the process by the time we get through it closes the window,” he said. “I’ve concluded it has closed.”
Still, Biden vowed that he won’t be a bystander to the 2016 election, calling on Democrats to embrace Obama’s record.
