Former Secretary of State John Kerry — one of Joe Biden's highest-profile endorsers — was overheard Sunday on the phone at a Des Moines hotel explaining what he would have to do to enter the presidential race amid "the possibility of Bernie Sanders taking down the Democratic Party — down whole."
Sitting in the lobby restaurant of the Renaissance Savery hotel, Kerry was overheard by an NBC News analyst saying "maybe I'm f---ing deluding myself here" and explaining that in order to run, he'd have to step down from the board of Bank of America and give up his ability to make paid speeches. Kerry said donors like venture capitalist Doug Hickey would have to "raise a couple of million," adding that such donors "now have the reality of Bernie."
Asked about the call later on Sunday, Kerry said that he was "absolutely not" contemplating joining the Democratic primary race.
"Everyone knows that John Kerry is all in for us," Symone Sanders, a senior adviser to the Biden campaign, told NBC News.

It also suggests that Kerry, who has campaigned with Biden in Iowa and New Hampshire, may be nervous about the former vice president's chances ahead of Monday's first-in-the-nation primary caucuses. At a North Liberty, Iowa, campaign event on Saturday, Kerry spoke both after and for longer than Biden did.
Kerry was the Democratic presidential nominee in 2004, losing to President George W. Bush. He got 251 electoral votes, compared to Bush's 286.

John Kerry, reporting for Doody!
What a doofus this guy is. He couldn’t even beat the third or fourth worst president we’ve had.
Pompous jerk. These guys are so full of themselves!
However it eould be entertsining to see JFKerry and Hillary duking it out at a brokered DNC convention!
I'm John Kerry, and I'm reporting for doody.
Doofus, indeed, but also this is the guy who’s supposed to be campaigning for Quid Pro Joe. The man would betray anybody. And has.
Well, let’s see. Bernie’s taking down the party. Buttgieg must be taking it UP the party. And Kerry must have some sort of sideways Jenjis thing he’s planning. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
You can already see there is no upper limit on how weird the Dems are gonna get.
However, it’s my suggestion they rename their party the Tantrumpists.
I thought it was too late to get on all the ballots.
Yeah, go ahead and run, moron. You couldn’t GW Bush, who was more hated than cancer. You’ve got a shot, dorkus.
Whoops, couldn’t BEAT GW Bush....
Lurch 2.0
He thinks he can Lurch right into the fray at this stage?
He has no name recognition in the below 35 market...
Go for it...
I hope he goes for it.
Trump will beat him with one swiftboat tied behind his back.
Why not have Al Gore and Jimmy Carter join the fun? Heck, Fritz Mondale is still Alive. We can have a reprisal of Grits and Fritz.
How much more money can you get out of sugar mama Heinz?
Hillary said she’s itching to get in the race, now Kerry, where are Gore, Dukakis, and Mondale when you need them.
Secretary Kerry, why the long face?
I know, because DJT will take 40-45 states if he has the good fortune to face you in the election, you arrogant, elitist, high brow snob.
We were THAT close to having a literal traitor as President.
