Gretchen's Take: White House in a pickle if Biden runs

Will President Obama endorse his own vice president or his former secretary of state?

The White House will be in a bit of a pickle if Joe Biden decides to get into the presidential race. Will President Obama endorse his own Vice President or his former Secretary of State? The president's spokesperson Josh Earnest seemed to be pretty high on Biden when asked by reporters.

The president has indicated his view that the decision he made seven years ago now, to add Joe Biden to ticket as his running mate, was smartest move he had ever made in politics. And I think that should give you some sense of the president’s view of VP Biden's aptitude for the top job.

With or without the endorsement it seems Biden is rising in the polls even without yet announcing any candidacy. The most recent Quinnapiac poll shows Biden beating Trump in the swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Is this all because America just loves Joe Biden? or is it because Democrats are falling out of love with Hillary Clinton?
