Vice President Biden and Democratic Candidate Bernie Sanders Meet Privately

Vice President Joe Biden -- who recently said that he would not run in 2016 -- met privately with Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders Thursday.

During a one hour conversation at the Vice President’s residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington D.C., the two former colleagues discussed campaign finance reform and a free education plan.

“I look forward to working with President Obama and Vice President Biden to tackle some of the major issues facing our country,” Sanders said in a statement to ABC News.

Having spent many years in the senate, the Vice President and Sanders have worked together on a number of issues. Today, a campaign rep for Sanders said, “They are friends from way back.”

I remember something about both Joe and Bernie using mass transit and talking on the trip in to work.
