Aides for Vice President Joe Biden met with staff from the Democratic National Committee this week, a sign that he may jump into the 2016 presidential race, according to the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>New Yorker.
The Biden aides were briefed on “arcane but crucial rules” that the vice president would need to understand should he run, the magazine reported.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>They went over details such as the primary calendar, filing deadlines and state-by-state processes for selecting delegates and super delegates.
Similar meetings were held with the other Democratic candidates: Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley, Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee.
A source told the outlet:
I think it means he’s running.A DNC spokesman did not confirm or deny that the meeting took place, according to the report.
Even though Biden hasn’t entered the race, speculation about the vice president’s potential candidacy has shifted into high gear in recent weeks. He’s<span style="color: Red;">*</span>shored up support in the polls and the Draft Biden PAC says its on track to raise $2.5 million to $3 million.
An announcement may come soon, possibly after next week’s Democratic candidate debate. Still, as the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>New Yorker<span style="color: Red;">*</span>noted, this week’s DNC meeting may mean he’s still gathering information.
