Aw hell..NBC reporter claims they heard Kerry on the phone saying he might jump in the race..

I don’t know if it’s true or someone is spreading lies to rile up the caucus participants tomorrow...If Kerry did say it then he had plenty of time to make a decision. Too late now..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

No way Kerry will try to enter the race himself after going to Iowa and spending lots of time helping Biden.

... he has inside knowledge that Biden would be out.

But getting in after Iowa? Makes no freakin' sense. I doubt that NBC reporter heard what you are reporting.

The ballots have already been printed for many states and the registration date has passed -- there is no "jumping in" at this point.

service for our nation, he also pretty much retired. He is not going to jump into the fray and subject himself and his wife to the whole grueling thing it is to run, much less the burden of the
presidency. He’s never have endorsed Biden if he had the least inclination to run.

Expect rumors and ugliness and stupid and divisive “news” as we head into this phase of the race.

As I told the reporter, I am absolutely not running for President. Any report otherwise is fucking (or categorically) false. I’ve been proud to campaign with my good
friend Joe Biden, who is going to win the nomination, beat Trump, and make an outstanding president.
