Joe Biden undecided if he will run for president

Vice president Joe Biden said he was unsure if he will seek the Democratic presidential nomination, telling a Jewish audience that his decision will hinge on whether he and his family have the “emotional energy to run”.

“Unless I can go to my party and the American people and say that I am able to devote my whole heart and my whole soul to this endeavour, it would not be appropriate,” Biden said, responding to a question following a foreign policy address.

Biden offered his most extensive public remarks regarding his deliberations about entering a Democratic primary race that includes front-runner Hillary Clinton, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders and others. His entry would shake up the campaign at a time when some Democrats would like to see more options.
