Biden Keeping 2016 On The Table

Vice President Joe Biden hinted last week that he may run for his boss’s job in 2016.

In an interview with CNN’s Candy Crowley that aired Sunday, Biden said that he is focusing on helping President Barack Obama win re-election, but that he has not taken a future White House bid off the table.

“I’ll make up my mind on that later,” Biden said. “I’m not closing anything.”

Addressing possible concerns over his age, 68, Biden noted that he was “in probably the best shape I’ve been in my life.”

Biden is no stranger to Presidential politics. If he enters the 2016 race, it will be his third campaign, having run for the Democratic nomination in 1988 and 2008.

The Vice President also commented on the current campaign season, saying that it is going to be an uphill battle for both parties.

“No one is guaranteed anything,” Biden remarked. “This is going to be a tough election. The country has inherited very difficult political and economic times.”
