'Run Joe Run' signs greet Joe Biden during speech at International Fire Fighters Association conference.
The political world may have to wait yet another"few weeks" to learn whether one of the biggest names in Democratic politics is running for president.
Biden's delay, in particular, has frustrated some Democratic officials — and even some of his own advisers, who expected him to declare his intentions in January. His team has been working to line up support with prospective staff on the ground in early primary states and former colleagues on Capitol Hill should he decide to run.
Biden has working-class credibility and hails from Scranton, Pennsylvania. But there's an open question as to how much he could win back blue-collar voters who abandoned the Democratic Party for Trump, particularly in the upper Midwest. "We can't be divided by race, religion, by tribe. We're defined by those enduring principles in the Constitution, even though we don't necessarily all know them," Biden said."In America, everybody gets a shot."
