Biden, who ran for president twice before--in 1988 and 2008--still wants a shot at the nation’s highest office, even though he has spent the last six years as the second most powerful politician in the nation.

“For me, the decision to run or not run is going to be determined by me, as to whether I am the best-qualified person to focus on the two things I’ve spent my whole life on -- giving ordinary people a fightin’ chance to make it and a sound foreign policy that's based on rational interests in the United States,” he told CNN.
