Joe Biden tried running for president twice already. Will his third attempt finally get him to the White House?
The current Vice President of the United States had an engagement last week and while he was expected to talk about the importance of community colleges and the Iran nuclear deal, he ended up talking about broader things that led him to economic and foreign achievements, according to a CNN report.
"Under the leadership of President Obama, we've gone from crisis to recovery and now we are on the verge of a real resurgence in the American economy," Biden said Wednesday.
But then he added that the middle class is not back yet. This speech draws curiosity as it first aligns with Obama's successes but also reveals that there is still work to be done, something that his future administration might work on if he decides to run.
This is, however, a different message to the one he gave Thursday as he was quoted by another report as saying, "The factor is: can I do it? Can my family undertake what is an arduous commitment that we'd be proud to undertake in ordinary circumstances? The honest-to-God answer is I just don't know."
Contradictions like these are what is making Biden's plan for the upcoming presidential election blurry. However, the Times also revealed in a report that Biden's advisers have begun reaching out to Democratic movers and shakers who have not yet committed to Hillary Clinton. Due to Clinton's current political woes, Democratic donors and leaders are reportedly looking for alternatives.
Considering the mixed messages that Biden is sending out, it is safe to assume that he, too, is seeking for the right thing to do? Give in to Clinton's candidacy or pursue his third try for the presidency.
