"The vice president’s possible late entry into the race evolved from something that many Washington insiders originally brushed off as a mechanism to help cope with the death of his son Beau Biden a former Delaware attorney general, into the plausible candidacy of an elder statesman. Some establishment figures began encouraging him to enter the race, to provide the party another option should Clinton’s free-fall continue.
