Biden: 'I am running for president'
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) -- Delaware Senator Joseph Biden is making no bones about it -- he intends to run for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Speaking with reporters at Southern New Hampshire University, Biden said, "I am running for president." Asked if that was his "official" announcement, Biden drew laughter by replying, "I've announced it 27 times." Biden says he plans to set up a campaign committee in January. Biden's appearance was part of a weekend swing through New Hampshire, aimed at boosting his chances in the state's first-in-the-nation presidential primary. |
