Great—can we send to the press?

Any feedback on these bullet points for talkers—will add to the top of the
statement to get out.

In his announcement today, Vice President Biden eloquently demonstrated
what a passionate fighter he's been for the middle class and for America.
His record of success in public service is remarkable and will continue
throughout the rest of this term and no doubt long into the future.

We share the Vice President's commitment to preserving the legacy of the
Obama-Biden administration, to a sense of optimism for what American can
and should be, and for our shared values and commitment to issues like
making college affordable, protecting and expanding the middle class and
expanding access to affordable health care.

As Hilllary has noted, America is lucky to have had Joe Biden working for
their shared values for decades now and looks forward to him being a part
of the public debate for years to come.

HRC has signed off on this statement:

STATEMENT ON JOE BIDEN

Joe Biden is a good man and a great Vice President.  Serving alongside him
in the Senate and then the administration, I saw first-hand his passion for
our country and our people.  Like millions of others, I admire his devotion
to family, his grace in grief, his grit and determination on behalf of the
middle class, and his unyielding faith in America’s promise.  As Vice
President, Joe has been by President Obama’s side for every pivotal
decision.  He helped save the auto industry and pull our economy back from
the brink of depression.  He continues to fight for higher wages, safer
communities, and a more peaceful world.  It’s a record to be proud of,
defend, and build on.  And I am confident that history isn’t finished with
Joe Biden.  As he said today, there is more work to do.  And if I know Joe,
he will always be on the front-lines, always fighting for all of us.
