Vice President Joe Biden is expected to announce whether he will run for president in the next seven to 10 days, according to CBS News.
Two of the three sources CBS News cited said the vice president is leaning toward running.
ADVERTISEMENT Several Democratic donors who have met with Biden also told CBS News they came away with the impression that he would run.
The sources say Biden will sit out the first Democratic primary debate Oct. 13 even if he announces his candidacy before then.
A spokesperson for the vice president did not comment to CBS News on the report.
A poll released earlier this week found Biden would be the most popular Democratic candidate if he entered the race.
Forecasters say Biden would likely take more support away from front-runner Hillary Clinton than surging candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), tightening the race for the Democratic nomination.

I agree with there. Its going to be a rollercoaster ride. :-)
Biden will announce that, indeed he is as dumb as a bag of hammers
Yet another old and white democrat candidate...the era of hope and change goes out with a whimper.
I agree. What will be his excuse...that he doesn't have enough time to prepare for the debate? He's been the Vice President for the last 7 years. He should already be thoroughly familiar with all of the issues, and be prepared to address them. I'm not rooting for Bernie or Hillary, but if I were them, I'd seize upon this as proof that he's not qualified for the job.

I still think the doofus could be potus in a landslide
Underestimate Biden at your peril, he ran rings around Ryan in their VP Debate.
Hope he runs.. another "creep" is just what the DEMS need to assure they go nowhere in 2016
You watched a lightweight ( Biden ) against a bantamweight ( Ryan )
Biden ran circles around both Palin and Ryan, who seemed hesitant to engage him. Maybe McPain and Romney wanted it that way.
In the debate with Ryan, he was grotesque. He took on the persona of a serial killer, complete with weird, menacing smile. Apparently that is what America loves now.
I’m still holding out hope for the ticket of Weiner/Holder 2016
I cannot hold my breath that long!
Yes, but Ryan appeared as the weakling and much too deferential. Probably the Romney coaches urged such a stance
I am sure he will run.
C’mon in Joe....the water is fine!
And Mrs. Biden has seen up front what a great gig FLOTUS is.
