\"joe_biden\"International desk: US Vice President Joe Biden has revealed he intends to mount a presidential bid in 2020.<\/p>\n

Speaking to a group of reporters, the 74-year-old said he wanted to run but was \u2018not committed to anything\u2019.<\/p>\n

Mr Biden has been jointly elected twice as the running mate of outgoing President Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

Asked if he would run for office again, Mr Biden said: \u201cYeah, I am. I am going to run in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked which position he would run for, he replied: \u201cFor president. And also, you know so, what the hell man, anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if he was joking, Mr Biden said: \u201cI'm not committing not to run. I'm not committed to anything. I learned a long time ago, fate has a strange way of intervening,\u201d CNBC reports.<\/p>\n

Mr Biden previously pursued the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988 and in 2008, but dropped out of the race early on both occasions.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Mr Biden also ruled out running for the nomination, in a race that would have pitted him against Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n

At the time, Mr Biden said the opportunity had passed on \u201cmounting a realistic campaign for president\u201d.<\/p>\n

He campaigned on behalf of Ms Clinton in 2016.<\/p>\n

Mr Biden will be 77-years-old on election day in 2020, three years older than President-elect Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Ronald Reagan is currently the record holder for oldest US president, who was 77-years-old when he left office in 1989.<\/p>\n

Mr Biden represented Delaware as a senator from 1973 until his election as Mr Obama\u2019s Vice President. He is the first Roman Catholic Vice President, and has been teetotal since a young age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
