Biden Uses Obama to Draw Contrast With Clinton in Iowa
This article is for subscribers only.
Vice President Joe Biden subtly contrasted himself with Hillary Clinton, a prospective 2016 presidential rival, and offered a populist message about boosting the middle class in an Iowa speech likely to spur speculation that he is eying a third White House bid.
Biden drew a distinction with the former U.S. secretary of state, without mentioning her name, in comments yesterday at an annual Democratic event in the state that traditionally starts the nomination voting. Biden said it was he and President Barack Obama who shared the same policy views during debates the three participated in as they battled for their party’s 2008 presidential nomination.
