Is It Too Late for Joe Biden?

First Read: “Every day that Biden waits to create a fundraising apparatus (to finance a sitting vice presidential — with his security detail in tow — campaigning across the country) makes it harder for him to compete against Bernie Sanders, let alone Hillary Clinton. A Biden confidante told one of us that the vice president’s chances of jumping into the race are now as high as 60%-40%. But if he gets in, Biden faces this reality: His chances of finishing third are greater than finishing first.”

“Also over the weekend, Politico wrote that Biden, if he gets into the 2016 race, plans to focus on South Carolina, plus get big Super PAC checks from a handful of wealthy Democratic donors. But folks, that’s more of a campaign strategy for the likes of Rick Santorum and Rick Perry — rather than a sitting vice president. Bottom line: Sitting vice presidents don’t get to skip early nominating states.”
