'We're ready to take anybody on': Biden teases run in speech to fire fighters

Amid persistent chants of "Run Joe Run," former Vice President Joe Biden teased a possible presidential bid while speaking to the International Association of Fire Fighters in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. Several times during his remarks, which could have been easily confused for a campaign rally, Biden alluded to a potential run, telling the crowd "we're ready to take anybody on."

Biden, thanking the crowd their enthusiasm and energy, told them to "save it a little longer, I may need it in a few weeks."

"Be careful what you wish for," he added while laughing as the crowd applauded. Biden is reportedly very close to making a final decision about a run, and new polling indicates that the former vice president now leads among 2020 Democratic candidates in Iowa without even making his campaign official. According to multiple people familiar with his planning, a formal kickoff for Biden's run is expected by mid-April.

Biden's comments to the group come a day after his fellow Delawarian, Sen. Chris Coons, told "CBS This Morning" that he was "confident" and "optimistic" that Biden would be running.
