Biden teases 2020 presidential bid in address to firefighters
Washington - Former US vice president Joe Biden dropped teasing hints Tuesday that he could soon announce a 2020 White House campaign, telling an enthusiastic crowd that he may need their energy "in a few weeks."
Much about Biden's address to the International Association of Fire Fighters in Washington suggested he is in: attendees waving printed "Run Joe Run" placards; recollections from his blue-collar roots; criticism of the current president without naming him; and soaring oratory about America's leadership role in the world.
He has another opportunity to reveal his plans later this week, when he addresses a Democratic Party dinner Saturday in Delaware, the small state he represented for 36 years in the US Senate until his stint as Barack Obama's deputy.
