Confident Biden sets timeline for presidential candidacy

Vice President Biden said Tuesday he’ll make up his mind about whether to run for president “at the end of the spring or early summer.”

{mosads}”I honest to God haven’t made up my mind,” Biden said at a ‘Women Rule’ event hosted by Politico. “I’m confident I’d be in a position to be competitive.”

“The one thing that moves me — I think that I have the ability to bring the sides together,” he added.

Biden’s daughter Ashley appeared on stage with him at the event, and called his potential presidential aspirations a “family decision.”

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is far and away the Democratic presidential frontrunner, leading her rivals by more than 50 percentage points, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls.

Biden came in third among Democrats in a a CNN-ORC poll released in late November. Clinton took 65 percent among Democrats in the poll, followed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) at 10 percent, and Biden at 9 percent.
