Vice President Joe Biden 'Confident' Hillary Clinton Will Be Democratic Nominee

[William769]

Vice President Joe Biden today predicted that Hillary Clinton will be his party's presidential nominee, even though the Democratic primary is still underway.

“I feel confident that Hillary will be the nominee, and I feel confident she’ll be the next president,” Biden said in an exclusive interview with “Good Morning America” co-anchor Robin Roberts.

The vice president’s comments came during an interview with Roberts about his “Cancer MoonShot” initiative. President Obama earlier this year announced Biden would lead a "moonshot" endeavor to cure cancer, a disease that claimed the life of his son Beau.

Biden, who decided against a 2016 run of his own, has refrained from endorsing Clinton or her Democratic opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders, in this election, but his statement is the most direct acknowledgement from inside the White House that Clinton will clinch the nomination.

1. K&R!

Looking forward to Obama and Biden on the campaign trail.

2. Can't remember. Do the Berniebros hate Joe Biden yet or not? nt

[Cali_Democrat]

4. They hated him at first

Then Biden said that Bernie had a good message...then Bernie supporters pulled him out from under the bus.

Now with his statement today, he will be thrown under the bus again.

Nobody is safe.

20. Bearing in mind that Biden usually takes the train...

[murielm99]

26. His spot under the bus is still warm.

K&R!

Thank you, Joe.

[Squinch]

31. Good thing because he's the one who is supposed to pay for the under-the-bus pizzas tonight.

I hear tonight they are screening a "Godfather" marathon down there.

Rachel is bringing the cocktails, Liz Warren and Obama are doing the salad and the Pope is signed up for the dessert.

It's a happening place!

[LisaM]

39. Also there was that convoluted theory where Biden was going to end up with the nomination.

I don't remember the particulars because they didn't add up, but it had something to do with a brokered convention if Hillary didn't have enough votes and it was going to be stolen away from Bernie by none other than Uncle Joe.

[William769]

5. We are about to find out.

[NWCorona]

8. Nope! Even with the flaws I always liked him.

[puffy socks]

12. They will now. nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. It's impossible to keep up.

[liberal N proud]

42. I think they threw him under the bus a long time ago

But they will likely back up and run over him again.

[ucrdem]

3. Good on Joe.

You know that must have been hard.

[William769]

7. Vice President Biden has nothing but class.

I wish him and his family nothing but good wishes.

[ucrdem]

10. I knew he'd come around.

We're gonna need all hands on deck to turn both houses blue.

14. Thanks Uncle Joe!

[yallerdawg]

15. Joe plowing the road again!

Jump on in, Mr. President!

[Surya Gayatri]

16. So glad he's weighing in...his word is respected in many circles.

[William769]

17. Yes he is.

[oasis]

18. Once Joe, Elizabeth Warren, Michelle Obama and the President all

declare "I'm With Her" Hillary will become unbeatable in the GE. However, as it currently stands, the inflated ego of a defeated opponent, forestalls the inevitable.

[William769]

19. Well said!

[DCBob]

24. +1!

[Sheepshank]

21. Biden has some decency about him.

I'm glad he didn't run, but I'm more glad he said this about Hillary

[stonecutter357]

27. Glad to hear from Biden!!

It won't be long before Obama is on the trail for Hillary too. This is a signal.

[William769]

28. Agreed.

[NastyRiffraff]

34. I love him, always have

Rachel once did a segment about how everyone, Democrats and Republicans, like him. She showed Lindsey Graham...Lindsey Graham in tears when he talked about Joe's pain on the death of his son. She commented on how rare, almost unprecedented, his popularity is among his colleagues.

I'm SO glad he's said this! Thanks for posting, Bill.

[SharonClark]

35. K&R

[George II]

36. Will it be long before he makes it official?

[Cha]

37. Thank you, VP Biden! He only speaks what everyone knows who isn't in denial.

Hillary Men!

[beaglelover]

38. Im with Joe!!!!!

[Maru Kitteh]

40. He also said his is CONFIDENT she WILL be the next President.

[brer cat]

41. Indeed she will.

Thanks for pointing that out to the mathematically challenged, Joe.

[Maru Kitteh]

43. Right? Joe. He gets math.

Smart man.

[Tarc]

44. There were a pile of posts a few weeks ago in the Bernie Group cheering Biden

Because he took (what they thought, anyways) was a swipe at Hillary last month in an interview.

I think they're about to have an Eastasia-Eurasia pivot.

[DesertRat]

46. Love Uncle Joe!

[boston bean]

47. Way to go Joe!

[Stuckinthebush]

[beaglelover]

49. K&R!!!!

[Hekate]

50. I love Joe

........

[Thinkingabout]

52. We know what comes next after Biden speaks, soon very soon, the others will speak up, Biden

will be out and campaigning for Hillary along with the others, our best chance to have the Clinton/Obama legacy expanded to another 8 years. They will be on board, I even expect a shot in the arm from Sanders, Trump is not good for the USA and a Republican president will send us back into a tailspin.

[LaydeeBug]

53. Math is math. There's just no getting around it. nt

[William769]

60. Biden is correct in this opinion

[R B Garr]

61. K&R!

Biden is correct. So was Obama in an earlier comment about the math and what that means.

[lunamagica]

62. K&R. He is right!
