Steve is commissioned officer, so he's in a safe space. Can do almost whatever he wants. But it's only a matter of time before the fire starts from her team.

>>> Clinton camp fears Biden inching closer to White House run
>>> 
>>> Aides close to Hillary Clinton are getting increasingly nervous that Vice President Joe Biden may throw his hat into the 2016 presidential race later this summer, Democratic sources told Fox News.
>>> 
>>> The sources said that that eyebrows were raised recently at Clinton’s headquarters in Brooklyn when Biden’s chief of staff at the White House, Steve Ricchetti, was spotted having breakfast recently with major Democratic donor Louis Susman, a Clinton friend who served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom under President Obama.
>>> 
>>> ADVERTISEMENT
>>> 
>>> After the breakfast, sources said word spread quickly inside Clinton’s camp that Biden’s team appeared to be sounding out top fundraisers about whether the vice president can raise the necessary cash to compete with the Democratic front-runner at this late date.
>>> 
>>> Susman previously raised money for the presidential bids of John Kerry in 2004 and Barack Obama in 2008.
>>> 
>>> Susman confirmed to Fox News that he had breakfast with Ricchetti, but noted he has “been a friend of mine for years.”
>>> 
>>> He added that it was a“strictly a personal meeting” and when pressed on whether he may raise money for Biden, he said, “I’m not planning anything. Hillary Clinton’s our candidate now.”
>>> 
>>> While that phrasing may leave the door open to Susman and other top Democrats raising cash for Biden down the road, the vice president’s office is not encouraging the presidential speculation while also still not closing the door completely on a bid.
>>> 
>>> The Wall Street Journal reported on June 28 that before Beau Biden’s death, the vice president’s son urged him to run for president one more time.  
>>> 
>>> Biden aides however say it is still too early for a decision.  
>>> 
>>> “The Biden family is going through a difficult time right now,” Biden spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff told Fox News. “Any speculation about the views of the vice president or his family about his political future is premature and inappropriate.”
