Biden hinted again that part of the motivation for running for re-election would be to counter a candidacy of donald trump; and added that his son Beau, who died in 2015, would have told him to aspire “depending on the contender”.

Biden also explained that if he made a formal announcement of his re-election bid, it would change his legal status. “Once I launch that commitment, a series of regulations will appear and I would have to behave like a candidate since then”plot.

The pressure on Biden about his eventual candidacy will grow after the November 8 mid-term elections, in which it is currently estimated that his Democratic Party could lose control Congress against the Republicans.
