United States Vice President Joe Biden has hinted at making a presidential bid in 2020. The 74-year-old political leader, while speaking to the reporters, said, “I am going to run in 2020…for president,” reported The Independent.
When asked if he was joking about it, Biden said, “I am not committing not to run. I learned a long time ago, fate has a strange way of intervening,” he added.
Biden had pursued the presidential nomination for the Democratic party in 1988 and 2008, but dropped out of the race early. In 2015, when he was being pitted against Hillary Clinton, Biden ruled out running for the elections. He said he and his family were still grieving from the death of their son Beau.
Biden is popular among working-class voters in the Appalachians and the Rust belt, The Guardian said.
