Former Vice President Joe Biden said he is uncertain about a run for president in 2020 Jordan Evans Jersey , but indicated he's looking for fresh blood to lead the Democratic Party back to the White House.
"I've done it a long time," said Biden, who previously ran for president in 1988 and 2008, "and I'm just not sure it's the appropriate thing for me to do."
His comments came in an interview with Snapchat's 'Good Luck America' set to be released Tuesday morning, in one of Biden's first on-camera interviews since leaving office in January. The Associated Press was provided with an exclusive preview of the interview.
Biden suggested that if "no one steps up," he'd be open to giving it another try. "I'm not doing anything to run," he said. "I'm not taking names Ryan Glasgow Jersey , I'm not raising money, I'm not talking to anybody, but something's got to happen."
Biden has launched a handful of outside political and policy organizations since leaving the Obama administration, including the Biden Foundation, formed to advocate for his domestic priorities.
The roster of Democrats considering a White House run has swelled well into the double-digits, with potential candidates emboldened by President Donald Trump's historically low poll numbers.
Biden was interviewed alongside Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican Bobby Hart Jersey , at the University of Delaware last month.
"We're both hoping that both our parties generate some real energetic people who have the depth and the capacity to do it," Biden said of the pair.
Biden, 74, considered a run for the Oval Office in 2016, but decided against it, later citing the trauma of his son Beau's death to cancer in May 2015 for keeping him from the race. The painful subject forms the story of his new memoir, 'Promise Me Alex Redmond Jersey , Dad,' set for release this week. Biden is launching a month-long tour to promote the book's publication. He's become a vocal critic of Trump's administration in public appearances in recent months.
"We gotta turn this ship around," Biden said of the country. "And I'd much prefer to be helping someone turn it around than being the guy trying to turn it around."
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey released Sunday, Biden said he regrets not being in the White House, but not his decision to stay on the sidelines last year. "I don't regret the decision I made because it's the right decision for my family," he said.
Kasich, who has been an outspoken opponent of Trump's since he challenged him for the Republican nomination in 2016 Nick Vigil Jersey , declined to address his own 2020 plans. "You hold the pen and the Lord will write the sentence," he said.

MILAN, Italy, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) -- It was in 2006 when Michele Gattoni, export manager at a company based here, celebrated his first Spring Festival in China.
"I was in Beijing and the sound and colors of fireworks set on the lunar New Year's eve are still deep in my mind," he told Xinhua.
Ten years later Tyler Boyd Jersey , Gattoni celebrated last night's Spring Festival with a group of Italian and Chinese friends in a Chinese restaurant of the Italian business capital, enjoying a variety of Chinese delicacies.
"For me, the Chinese Spring Festival especially means dumplings," he told Xinhua, recounting the long-ago dinner in Beijing with some Chinese friends who had invited him along.
"I remember that the group's women at a certain point started to make dumplings, and they were so delicious. Then we watched the fireworks all together. I felt welcomed by these people, I felt that I was part of their families. It was such a touching experience William Jackson Jersey , and that is why I am here tonight," he concluded.
Francesca Romana Di Biagio, a journalist at Il Giornale newspaper, also celebrated the Year of the Monkey with Gattoni and other friends in the same restaurant. "I wish this new year will bring me luck and happiness," she said while asking a Chinese friend to help her translate some characters that Chinese people believe will give them blessing in the coming year.
Di Biagio was in Shanghai when she celebrated Spring Festival in China years ago. "It was 2010 and it was snowing in Shanghai. The atmosphere was magic and I spent the lunar New Year's Eve in a club on the Bund with a few friends," she said.
"What I especially remember about the Chinese Spring Festival is the red color. Red was everywhere, and it was so overwhelming especially the day after Joe Mixon Jersey , when I had a walk in the city historic center and I saw an infinite variety of red banners and red lanterns. I feel that day I saw the Spring Festival with Chinese eyes," Di Biagio told Xinhua.
Di Biagio said more and more Italians, including many who have no links with China, like to celebrate the Chinese Spring Festival. "This festival has become increasingly popular in Milan. Many people have the habit of celebrating it in Chinese restaurants, which is also a sign of a growing integration of the Chinese community in Italy," she explained.

"This means that the Chinese community in Milan since a long time ago has been a very influential presence able to transfer the value and beauty of China's traditions," he told Xinhua. Rossi said he had never celebrated the Spring Festival in China, yet every year he feels increasingly close to Chinese people in enjoying the festive atmosphere, no matter in which part of the world.
