New hire for Team Biden looks like a
gear up for possible presidential announcement.
(CNN) —Vice President Joe Biden announced on Monday a new communications director, Kate Bedingfield, a film industry official and former spokeswoman for John Edwards' 2008 presidential campaign.
"Kate is a talented individual who brings a range of communications experience to the team," Biden said in a statement. "She will be a key advisor to me, a terrific asset to our office, and an important member of the entire White House organization." Bedingfield -- whose first day at the White House is Monday -- previously worked at the Motion Pictures Association of America, where she was the Vice President of Corporate Communications.
The announcement comes amid increasing speculation that Biden might run for president for a third time. On Saturday, Biden held a private meeting with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a popular figure with the Democratic party base, where they discussed economic policy, a person familiar with the discussion told CNN, adding that the presidential campaign or Biden's future was not a particular focus of the discussion.
There is plenty of speculation as to how this would affect primary. I have no idea. I like Joe but his policies are very close to Hillarys. He voted for Iraq War and played a
major role in helping to pass 90's crime bill which was responsible for creating the era of mass incarceration.
Bernie Sanders policies are what attract me so I'll remain in his court. But, looks like the primary is going to get a lot more interesting.
