The political article I chose to write about is "Biden: "Do I regret not being president? Yes" The link to the article is listed at the bottom of this blog. The author refers to a speaking engagement former Vice President Joe Biden had at Colgate University. Biden was basically asked if he regretted not running for president. Biden replied basically that he regrets that he is not the president but that he did not run because his son, Beau, had been diagnosed with brain cancer. Biden knew this would keep him from focusing fully on the campaign to run for president. Biden is basically saying in this article that he thinks he could have won the democratic primary and then could have beaten Trump. Although he does not say this in the article I believe it implies it.
I chose this article because I was looking on the computer about things related to the recent presidential campaign that were different than the usual stuff I've heard. There is still much discussion about how Trump won the presidency. Many people are still very surprised Trump won. This article answers the question about why Biden didn't run. I had not heard this before so I thought it was very interesting. In my opinion Biden may be right, but of course we will never know.

I never knew that the reason why Biden did not run for president was because his son has brain cancer. I wonder how it would have turned out if Biden ran against Trump. I liked how you inferred things from the article, but said that what you think is not a fact. Good job
ReplyDeleteI was wondering why Biden did not run for president. Thank you for clarifying, you did well on this post.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is very interesting. I really think that Biden would of had a chance, but I think Hillary would have won anyway. I do not know about Bernie though!
