Joe Biden encourages Mitt Romney to run for Senate

Updated 2:53 PM ET, Sat June 10, 2017
Park City, Utah (CNN)Former Vice President Joe Biden is encouraging onetime rival Mitt Romney to return to public life and run for Senate.
Biden spoke at Romney's ideas summit, an annual gathering of donors and business leaders in Utah.
During a private event Friday night in Park City, Biden called Romney a man of integrity and said he should mount a challenge next year, according to two people in the room.
"By the way, you should run for Senate," one attendee quoted Biden as saying. The comment was quick and off-hand, but the crowd of Romney loyalists appreciated it and applauded.

(31,451 posts)1. Biden needs to sit
his behind down somewhere and be quiet. I think he is running his mouth off quite dangerously these days.

Seems Mitt is the least of the worst.

(7,609 posts)4. What is going on with Biden, anyway?
Does he want to run for another office again? I suppose he misses being relevant, but I don't think his utterances are all helpful or productive. Don't alert me, I like Biden, I just don't understand his motives these days.
