Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again

On a private plane, they hopped from state to state to meet with the final three possibles: Indiana Senator Evan Bayh, Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, and Biden, who had run for president against Obama and dropped out after Iowa. Biden was still pissed at Obama for not backing his possible presidential run in 2016, implicitly backing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Biden ran in 2008, so maybe the idea that Warner, whom he didn’t know that well, was a rival had locked itself in his brain, and that event, almost a generation before, was still how he thought of the senator from Virginia. Most of them had pleaded guilty, many had assaulted law enforcement.
