CNN email: Biden is launching a PAC

"SNIP.......

2020 watch: Joe Biden is launching a PAC Former Vice President Joe Biden is launching a political action committee tomorrow -- a move certain to fuel speculation about whether he’d make a run for president in 2020. The PAC's name: American Possibilities. It's an implicit rebuke of President Donald Trump's style.

Biden will announce it in a Medium post. Here's part of what it will say: "America has always thought big. It’s stamped into our DNA. We’re the people who built the Hoover Dam and the Transcontinental Railroad, landed a man on the moon, cured polio, built the Internet and sequenced the human genome. And yes -- soon we will be the people who will find a cure for cancer. That’s why the negativity, the pettiness, the small-mindedness of our politics drives me crazy. It’s not who we are."

2. I agree we need younger leaders. But I welcome Biden speaking

up on the issues. He has a great take on things. America is hungry for leadership and i'm glad we have Biden as a safe harbour.

And fighting money in politics.

5. Biden is 74 years old

According to actuarial life tables, his life expectancy is 11.7 more years. He has an 85% chance of being alive in 2020, a 67% chance of being alive in 2024 and a 47% chance of being alive in 2028.

If he does end up at the top of the ticket in 2020, we better hope he has a good VP.
