When Joe Biden attended the annual Munich Security Conference last month, the wonky foreign policy confab promised an escape from the nonstop speculation back home about the former vice presidents political plans.
Instead, Bidens 2020 intentions were the talk of the conference.
When Armenian President Armen Sarkissian ran into him in a hallway, a TV camera captured him asking Biden: Are you going to run? (Biden whispered an inaudible answer.)
And in several conversations with European leaders in Munich, Biden heard a repeated refrain, according to a conference attendee familiar with the conversations: The world needs you.
Citing Bidens long foreign policy track record and longtime commitment to the trans-Atlantic alliance, some of the leaders echoing views from across the continent told Biden that his return to the White House would be a sure way to restore western alliances that President Donald Trump has dramatically fractured.

(11,940 posts)If he decides not to run, I would like to see him get the Secretary of State position. He'd be excellent! Either position would allow him to mentor someone, especially in foreign policy.
We need his experience in Washington, his humanness, compassion, his knowledge of all the things Trump has screwed up or undone, and his rapport, reputation, and trust that our allies have in him.

(10,849 posts)He's the only candidate with foreign policy chops. I'm not surprised world leaders are urging him to run because Biden is a know quantity around the world. The only person who traveled more was Hillary Clinton.
We're going to need a seasoned hand to get us back on track diplomatically. Even our German allies want our current ambassador fired, a typical Trumpster appointee.
This is going to be Joe Biden's race to lose because the wind is definitely at his back and his experience is desperately needed.
