The Hill ^

Vice President Biden on Monday raised the possibility of a presidential bid in 2020.
“I am going to run for president in 2020,” Biden told a group of reporters in the Capitol when asked about his political future.
Asked if he was kidding, the 74-year-old Biden paused for four seconds before saying he is “not committing not to run.”
“I am not committed to anything. I learned a long time ago, fate has a strange way of intervening.”

In 2020 they won't have a single 55 year old on the bench.

He may not “be committed” to anything
But he should “be committed” to an institution

This is a perfect example of why we need term limits.

After a series of congressional and governor wipeouts, the 'rats have no bench strength. Sclerotic old farts is all they have, no new talent ready for prime time.

Do it, Joe!! At least he'd make for an entertaining race. Who cares if he'd be 78 by then, age doesn't matter. (Or so I tell myself, albeit I'm half a decade younger then him.)
Besides, realistically, who have the Democrats got who'd be any more plausible as their candidate? Their bench is bare. Are they going to make another suicide run with Hillary? Or Bernie? Or Warren? Or Kerry? Joe Biden has "credentials" having been Vice President, and he's likeable and empathic even if he does spout a lot of nonsense.
Besides, it's his turn...

True. He may be opposed by some radical Black groups. They see him and Harold Ford, Jr. as “sellout blacks”.

They have Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed. He’s young, fresh, dynamic, and African American.

He might want to check in with his neurologist .... something “upstairs” is amiss.

Side note: I believe Biden presides over electoral vote acceptance in Congress in January.
