<p>As confidence in Hillary Clinton continues to wane, many believe Vice President Joe Biden will finally join the presidential race. Speculations soared after a recent meeting between Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren, not to mention rumors about Obama giving Biden his blessing during a recent luncheon. ;</p>
<p>White House Spokesman Josh Earnest thinks Biden is more than ready for the challenge. He told reporters during a recent White House briefing that Obama&rsquo;s decision to choose Biden as his Vice President proves that the President thinks Biden is capable of running for the top position himself. ;</p>
<p>The spokesman ;also reminded reporters that Biden is a man whom Obama has referred to as &ldquo;one of the best vice presidents in our history.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I think that should give you some sense of the president&rsquo;s view of Vice President Biden&rsquo;s aptitude for the top job,&rdquo; said Earnest, reminding us that Biden ran for presidency twice before joining forces with Obama.  ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;You could make the case that there is probably no one in American politics today who has a better understanding of what exactly is required to mount a successful national presidential campaign,&rdquo; ;said the spokesman. ;</p>
<p>Earnest hinted that President Obama is considering making an endorsement in the democratic primary, but declined to mention names. He also urged reporters not to jump to conclusions. ;</p>
<p>Joe Biden as a Democratic candidate would prove refreshing compared to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, I must admit. But staring his campaign this late in the game will prove challenging. ;Biden is expected to make his final decision by the end of the summer.</p>
