Biden in "final stages" of deciding whether to mount 2020 run

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday said he has not yet chosen whether or not to join the 2020 race for the White House, but that he is “very close” to a decision.

In a question-and-answer session with presidential historian Jon Meacham at Biden’s alma mater, the University of Delaware, the former vice president said he is in the “final stages” of his process.

“I don’t want this to be a fool’s errand,” Biden said. “I want to make sure if we do this — and we’re getting very close to getting to a decision — that I am fully prepared to do it.”
