So if good ol Joe announces he will run, he will be invited to the upcoming first Democratic debate. I thought Biden was expected to announce sometime in the end of September (so sometime this week :confused:) if he will run or not. It will be interesting to see where Biden goes from here. My money is kinda leaning on that he will not run, he just doesnt seem like he is into the idea of running, doesnt seem to have enough energy or "want" to run. But anyways CNN is saying he will be invited if he announces.
