Joe Biden says will decide soon whether to run for presidency

MUNICH — Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, a Democrat, said on Saturday he had not yet decided whether to run for president in 2020 but would do so "in the near term."

More than two dozen Democrats could ultimately opt to run for president, creating a crowded field hoping to challenge President Donald Trump. Biden, who served two terms as vice president after decades in the U.S. Senate, would have the advantage of name recognition should he enter the race.

The 76-year-old would also find himself at the center of a debate among Democrats about whether their party would best be led in the November 2020 vote by a political newcomer or a seasoned veteran.

"I haven't reached a decision," Biden told reporters at the annual Munich Security Conference. "I'm in the process of doing that, and I will in the near term let everyone know what that decision is."

in the US and around the world after drumpf et al has been extracted from the oval office. It will be a daunting task to take on and I'm sure Joe Biden will decide to run.

Biggest thing is lining up good campaign staff before they commit to other candidates.
