During an interview on the third episode of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," on Thursday Vice President Joe Biden spoke candidly about his late son Beau, the impact of his son's death, and the lingering question of whether he'll run for president.
Host Stephen Colbert conducted what was mostly a serious interview, and near the end, he asked Biden if he was emotionally prepared to for a campaign.
Biden responded: "I don't think any man or woman should run for president unless, number one, they know exactly why they would want to be president and two, they can look at folks out there and say I promise you have my whole heart, my whole soul, my energy, and my passion.
Earlier in the interview, the new "Late Show" host praised Biden for being "real," and he said that people had been inspired by the way Biden handled tragedy, offering his condolences on the death this summer of his son, Beau Biden.
