Biden Gets Serious About Possible Campaign

As Hillary Clinton’s campaign struggles with sliding poll numbers, Vice President Joe Biden’s exploration of a presidential candidacy is taking on a new seriousness, the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Biden has been in contact with donors who could help finance a campaign, eyeing major contributors to President Obama and pillars of his own fund-raising network: trial lawyers, Jewish leaders and Greek-Americans… At the same time, some Democrats supporting Mrs. Clinton have quietly signaled that they would re-evaluate their support if Mr. Biden joined the race.”
