Vice President Joe Biden has still not ruled out a 2016 presidential run and will make his intentions known by Aug. 1, according to two Democratic sources who have been in contact with his family.

While the loss of his son, Beau Biden, last month paused any political planning by the vice president, the sources tell U.S. News that family members have indicated a White House run is still a possibility.

He plans to announce his decision sometime prior to the beginning of August.

People in DE will be so happy if he does not run. They are for HRC, and they don’t want any distractions this time.

He's pulling his hair out over this decision.

However, I think he's had and with the death of his son, he will withdraw from politics completely.

Someone please explain to me — what possible upside could there be for any large Democrat donor to fund a Joe Biden presidential campaign?

Big donors usually just think of it as protection money. Anybody who might be able to help down the line gets baksheesh. Also, someone who has down favors for them in the past likewise gets donations.

“...and with the death of his son...”

I don’t know. Liberals tend to consider that kind of situation as a political advantage. Joe could very well be thinking this is THE time to run because his son’s death might bring in more votes. You know he would whip out a “son” sob story in every stump speech.

Liberals are sick puppies.

Hillary’s damaged.... the ‘foundation’ stuff’s not a joke...

Hillay’s starting to feel like Nixon toward the end - when larger and larger numbers of people started realizing Nixon was too much of a control freak for Watergate to happen without his involvement...

Hillary’s up to her eyeballs in this mess.
