Vice President Joe Biden will not run for president
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said on today he would not run for president in 2016, ending months of suspense and easing Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton's path to the party's nomination.
Biden, who had been pondering a run since August, appeared in the White House Rose Garden with his wife Jill and President Barack Obama to say the window for mounting a successful campaign had closed.
"While I will not be a candidate, I will not be silent," Biden told reporters. "I intend to speak out clearly and forcefully to influence as much as I can where we stand as a party and where we need to go as a nation," Biden said. Ed Henry interjected, "Since you won't remain silent how many letters are there in the word jobs?" He looked at his wife for guidance. She came through holding up 4 fingers.
Guess we're going to miss the gaffes and those "awkward moments".
