Beau Biden Plans 2016 Run For Delaware Governor

Vice President Joe Biden’s son won’t run again for attorney general of Delaware, as his sights are on bigger things.

“Over the past few months, as I’ve been planning to run for re-election, I have also been giving a great deal of thought to running for governor in 2016,” Biden said in an e-mail to supporters Thursday morning. “What started as a thought — a very persistent thought — has now become a course of action that I wish to pursue.”

Biden, who underwent surgery at a Texas cancer center last year, had said previously that he would seek a third term as attorney general.

“After careful consideration, I have concluded that it is not right to ask for your support in 2014, knowing that my focus would be divided between doing my job as attorney general while at the same time running as a candidate for governor,” he said in the statement. “Therefore, I am announcing today that I will not seek re-election as your attorney general this November.”
