Hillary is going to be indicted by the US Justice Department. Biden’s announcement reduces his being blamed by the Hillary supporters in the future.
And she has a very good chance of being the first person elected to the Office of President while under indictment. People these days assume that all politicians are crooks, so having confirmation is not an impediment.
I agree 100%. Biden walked a very tight rope with that speech. Biden’s reason for not running had to do with logistics, (ie ran out of time). Had he said he was tired, or had no desire, it would be very difficult to ride in on the white horse to save the dem party when Hillary goes down.
In addition, when he does ride in to save the dem party, there will be no bad blood between he and Hillary and he should easily win the Hillary-bots.
