Joe Biden is running. The former vice president will make his candidacy official with a video announcement next Wednesday, according to people familiar with the discussions who have been told about them by top aides.
Seriously, he’s actually made a decision. It’s taken two years of back-and-forth, it’ll be his third (or, depending on how you count, seventh) try for the White House, and many people thought he wouldn’t do it, but the biggest factor reshaping the 2020 Democratic-primary field is locking into place.
He wants this. He really wants this. He’s wanted this since he was first elected to the Senate, in 1972, and he’s decided that he isn’t too old, isn’t too out of sync with the current energy in the Democratic Party, and certainly wasn’t going to be chased out by the women who accused him of making them feel uncomfortable or demeaned because of how he’d touched them.

Maybe so, but I think it is doubtful. Biden is an aged fossil that progressive democrats want nothing to do with. Bernie and Joe are very old white guys and don't fit the new democratic political mold.
Wow, now people in DE can go back to getting a good night’s sleep!
Good news kiddies!
Now get out there and grab some pussies!
Did he clear this with AOC and her posse?
I said that months ago....that team will win then 'ol Joe will become ill, step down and Mr. and Mrs. Obama will be back again.
Joe's advantage is they keep their options open for 2024. The disadvantage is that the last thing the radical wing of the party wants is to run another "old white guy" (unless, perhaps, it's Bernie). So running Joe risks really splintering the party beyond repair.
It will be interesting to see which choice the party machine makes. The notion that it will be anything other than a calculated machine choice is a fiction that the D power brokers will try to conceal from the primary voters, as usual.
George Babbit-Biden-Rob, he is the man for the job.
One of those Mark Russell comedy songs from another time.
So plugs...
About that deal you setup with the Russians and your son.
Care to explain that?
How the heck are they gonna fit them on a stage? Several levels?
Lol. You got that right.
Lol
He’s announcing that he’s running from Charlottesville, scene of the death of that woman a few years ago. If it had been Trump announcing it, the media would accuse him of using her death for political reasons.
