FORMER VP BIDEN DROPS HINT AT PRESIDENTIAL RUN

Former vice president Joe Biden said he considers himself “the most qualified person in the country” to be president and that he would make a decision about moving forward with a 2020 bid in the next two months.

His comments came during a book-tour stop at the University of Montana at which Biden also acknowledged he has some liabilities, including being a “gaffe machine,” but said none of those would scare him from running. Biden, 76, would join what is expected to be a crowded field of Democrats looking to topple President Donald Trump.

“I’ll be as straight with you as I can,” Biden said. “I think I’m the most qualified person in the country to be president. The issues that we face as a country today are the issues that have been in my wheelhouse, that I’ve worked on my whole life.”
