  • Washington : US Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced that he will not be contesting in the upcoming presidential polls

  • His call has given Hillary Clinton a substantial boost to go to White House

  • Moments after it, Hillary tweeted and tagged Biden as a friend

  • “@VP is a good friend and a great man. Today and always, inspired by his optimism and commitment to change the world for the better,” Hillary tweeted.

  • Currently she is leading all national polls.
  • It’s ultimately good news [for Mrs. Clinton] and it’s money she’s not going to have to spend on a primary,” said Bill Burton, a former Obama campaign aide.

  • Donald Trump, the leading Republican presidential candidate, said Biden made a good decision.

  • “I think Joe Biden made correct decision for him and his family. Personally, I would rather run against Hillary because her record is so bad,” he said in a tweet.
