<p>Former Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday said he is not ruling out a presidential run in 2020 (keep in mind, if elected, he would be 78 years old on inauguration day).</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m really hoping that some other folks step up,&rdquo; Biden told MSNBC host Al Sharpton. &ldquo;I think we have some really good people.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Biden, who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988 and 2008, says he needs to be certain that whoever earns the nomination in 2020 is someone who can beat Trump.</p>
<p>When asked what &#8211; if anything &#8211; would make him seriously consider running in 2020, Biden said, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve got to be able to look in the mirror, and, if I walk away, know I&rsquo;m not walking away because I&rsquo;m afraid or I&rsquo;m worried about losing or that I just don&rsquo;t want to take on the responsibility.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Biden had been serious about running in 2016 until the tragic death of his son Beau in 2015. The former vice president says he has &#8220;plenty of time to consider whether or not to run&#8221; and, for the time being, is focused on &#8220;electing a ;Democratic Congress to stop this erosion of the core of who we are.&#8221;</p>
<p>Biden&#8217;s ;deliberations about running for president coincide with the claim that he could have beaten Donald Trump in a high school fight. &ldquo;If we were in high school, I&rsquo;d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him,&rdquo; Biden told a group of students at the University of Miami.</p>
<p>President Trump responded on Twitter: ;&ldquo;Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me&hellip;he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don&rsquo;t threaten people Joe!&rdquo;</p>
<p>Biden is currently on tour promoting his new book, his cancer initiative, his new domestic policy institute in Delaware, and his new PAC, American Possibilities.</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s note:</strong> It appears that Joe is publicizing his book tour. Bet you $10 he won&#8217;t run.</p>
