Biden Stokes 2016 Speculation

“Iowa Democrats have often looked to Sen. Tom Harkin’s annual steak fry for a peek into the future of the party. On Sunday, Vice President Biden made clear he believes its future should be an extension of its present,” the Washington Post reports.

“Biden, flirting with a third try at the presidency in 2016, delivered a muscular and impassioned defense of the policies and priorities of President Obama’s administration and offered a marker by which he said they should be judged.”

Des Moines Register: “He made only joking references to the 2016 race as he spoke in the leadoff presidential-nominating state. But he shook hands for more than 45 minutes afterward, engaging in the friendly, back-slapping retail politics he’s famous for.”
