[PJMedia] WASHINGTON ‐ Former Vice President Joe Biden predicted that Democrats will win the majority in both chambers of Congress in the midterm election.
"We're going to win back the United States House of Representatives, I promise you. And I predict we'll win back the Senate, too," he said during an interview at the Biden Cancer Summit on Friday alongside his wife, Jill Biden.
When Mrs. Biden was asked how she would react if her husband said he wanted to run for president in 2020, she replied, "I would say, Joe, you would make a great president but let’s think about it."
When asked if he wants to run for president, Biden replied, "No, I desperately want to change the landscape and there is more than one way to do it. I'm looking for someone; there's a lot of really talented people we have out there: Kamala Harris, you’ve got Cory Booker, you’ve got the former mayor of Massachusetts. You have a lot of talented people." Former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has been floated as a 2020 contender.
He continued, "But we have to stop this degradation of the system that's going on. That's why I'm campaigning all over the country. I'm campaigning for candidates because we have to build a berm out there."
Biden was also asked if he would regret not running in 2020. He declined running in 2016 as his son Beau had recently passed away. |
