Biden: "My intention from the beginning if I were to run would be the last person to announce"

CNN Newsroom
@CNNnewsroom

Biden on 2020: “I am very close to making the decision… Even if I knew for certain I was going to run for president… my intention from the beginning if I were to run would be the last person to announce… Give everybody else their day, then I get a shot, then off to the races.”

Biden to announce. From what I have heard he will do it after Easter.

We will see if that is the case.

I will give him a little slack because of the recent bruha, but it is time now

The first debate will be held on June 26th and 27th in Miami, Florida, and will be broadcast live on NBC, MSNBC and Telemundo. “Throughout every step of this process, we’ve focused on empowering the grass roots and ensuring that we hold the most transparent, inclusive and fair primary in our party’s history,” DNC Chairman Tom Perez said in a statement. “I’m thrilled that we’ll get the chance to showcase our terrific candidates to voters in Florida and across the nation.”

The second debate will be held on July 30th and 31st in Detroit, Michigan, and will be broadcast live on CNN. “Detroit embodies the values and character of the Democratic Party,” Perez said in a statement. “It’s a city of grit and determination, a city that has gotten knocked down only to get back up stronger. With its diversity, its storied history, and its proud ties to the labor movement, Detroit is the perfect place for our party’s second debate.”
