Joe Biden on White House run: I 'may not get there'
- 9 years ago
The rapid speed of the 2016 presidential contest could outpace Vice President Joe Biden's own emotional grappling with a run, he admitted to an interviewer last week.
Speaking to the Catholic "America" magazine in an interview released Monday, Biden acknowledged that his family's readiness for a run couldn't be rushed, even as key dates loom in the Democratic nominating calendar.
The self-proclaimed "end-of-summer" deadline that Biden established for himself will come and go this week without a presidential decision, his advisers concede, as the Vice President and his family continue to weigh their emotional willingness to join the race.
Once thought to be a hold-out, Dr. Jill Biden signaled support for a potential run in a statement from her office over the weekend - though she didn't go so far as to say she was urging her husband to jump in.
