In a wide-ranging interview with CBS Miami, the presumptive Democratic nominee talked Cuba, Venezuela and immigration as well as President Trump’s response to the coronavirus.

Mark Hemingway caught Joe Biden’s “especially combative” interview with Chris Cuomo on CNN yesterday (video below). Hemingway reports that when Cuomo shifted the topic from mandatory school busing to Russian election meddling in Europe and America, “Biden bizarrely asserted that the Obama administration never let that happen.” Biden’s catchphrase in this short interview is “C’mon, man.” Count the times he resorts to it. If Biden remains a serious candidate, I’m afraid the interview is worth watching. It put me in mind of Robert Gates’s observation that Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue...

Former Vice President Joe Biden hasn’t decided to run for president in 2020. But he’s decided that he’s “not going to decide not to run.” Got it? The 74-year-old Democrat offered a somewhat confusing take on his political future in a series of new interviews ahead of the release of his memoir, “Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose.” But one thing is clear: Biden thinks he’s the right man to lead the nation. Biden tells InStyle magazine that “this moment in American history sort of fits into my wheelhouse and the strengths I have.” He cited...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The Democrats now are admitting privately amongst themselves, they are admitting that they lost.

Will the public know it?” Todd asked. “Hope not,” Biden said.

Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., in an emotional, wide-ranging interview on Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” on Thursday, expressed doubt about the likelihood that he would run for president, saying that “I’d be lying if I said that I knew I was there.” Repeatedly touching on his parents, his faith and his emotional fragility from the recent death of his son Beau, Mr. Biden told Mr. Colbert that no “man or woman should run for president” without being able to promise voters that “you have my whole heart, my whole soul, my energy, and my passion.” “Nobody has a right,...
