Biden readies presidential run amid allegations

Former Vice President Joe Biden is committed to running for president despite allegations of improper touching from two women in the last week.

Since the allegations broke, Biden and his top advisers have been reassuring supporters and donors that he is still moving forward and is expected to enter the race after Easter, sources say.

“He's taking this all very seriously and is still committed to running," one Biden World source said, adding that the former vice president still feels like he is the best person to defeat President Trump in 2020.

Biden has been finalizing plans before launching a campaign. He is considering opening his campaign headquarters in Philadelphia and has been building a campaign in waiting.

He'll probably get a nice bump when he announces. But hang on tight, it will be a bumpy ride. Everyone always wants to knock off the frontrunner.

Yes!!! My husband and I just put our house on the market and are intending to move back to the Philadelphia area after a long absence from the tristate area. Hopefully, we'll be on site--Philadelphia suburbs--before the end of this summer.

Biden in Philly will definitely stir things up. Looking forward to it and I can share the excitement with my kids. It's hard being a Democratic rah-rah in a blood red state, a state that would elect a Marsha Blackburn to the Senate for pity's sake.

Good to know.
