She was left there for days. Good evening. And we begin tonight with major developments in the race for 2016. After weeks of speculation, Vice President joe biden revealing he will not run for president. That immediately shifts the race. How the poll numbers now change in a moment here. The Vice President walking out with his wife, dr. Jill biden, who had said before she would support him if he decided to run. As the entire family mourned the recent death of their son, beau biden. Today, the Vice President revealing there are now more smiling than tears, but then adding, the window has closed. Tonight, what weve learned about Hillary Clintons phone call to biden. Abcs chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl leading us off. Reporter with his wife and his boss at his side, joe biden walked into the rose garden, the final steps on a painful journey. He and his family were finally prepared to run, but concluded the window had simply closed. Unfortunately, i believe were out of time. The time necessary to mount a Winning Campaign for the nomination. Reporter bidens friends say he had desperately wanted to run for president he had even talked to supporters about launching a campaign but always hanging over his decision was the grief surrounding the death earlier this year of his son, beau. You could see biden still struggling with the loss in an interview last month with stephen coert. But i find myself you understand it, i just sometimes, it just sort of overwhelms you. Reporter today in the rose garden, with virtually all of the president s and Vice President s senior advisers looking on, biden said his family is now in a better place. Sooner, rather than later, when you think of your loved one, it brings a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eyes. Well, that is where the bidens are today. Thank god. Reporter in fact, much of bidens announcement sounded like a campaign speech, including two clear messages to Hillary Clinton. One on what she said in last weeks debate when asked to name her favorite enemies. Well, in addition to the nra, the Health Insurance companies, the drug companies, the iranians, probably the republicans. I dont think that we should look at republicans as our enemies. They are opposition. They are not our enemies. And for the sake of the country, we have to work together. A big day there at the white house. And jon karl with us live. Jon, you know the numbers. Joe bidens decision immediately impacting the race. The most recent abc news poll showing in a threeway race, clinton gets 54 , Bernie Sanders 23 , joe biden, 16 . But with biden out of the race, you see there, clintons numbers jump ten points to 64 . Jon, we all learned of that phone call today from Hillary Clinton to the Vice President . Reporter thats right. Hillary clinton called biden not long after he walked out of the rose garden and then she put out a statement saying, if i know joe, he will always be on the front lines and always fighting for all of us. And also, if you know Hillary Clinton, you know that she would like to see a joe biden endorsement and soon. And see joe biden fighting for her. Well see about that. In the meantime, jon, stay with us. Republicans are reacting to the announcement, too. Donald trump tonight tweeting, biden made the right decision, adding hed rather run against Hillary Clinton because of her record. And new numbers prompting the Washington Post to ask, is it time to concede that donald trump is likely to win the nomination . And here they are. The new abc news Washington Post poll numbers showing 42 of republicans now say they expect trump to be the nominee. 43 say he has the best chance of winning the general election. Their top pick for strongest leader. They also say hes best on immigration, and the republican who understands them best. Some very strong polling for trump tonight. So, jon, here is the question. The republican party, when they see these numbers, do they think this could eventually donald trump versus Hillary Clinton . Reporter well, Republican Leaders in this town have been in denial for a long time, saying trump cannot win the nomination. You know longer hear that said with confidence. They are starting to come to terms with the fact that he may be their nominee, david. He has been the frontrunner for three solid months. This is no longer a flash in the pan. All right, jon karl with us tonight. And jon, thank you. And to one other major headline from washington at this hour. Congressman paul ryan saying he will consider running for speaker of the house, but with significant warnings. Reportedly telling some of them, i am willing to take arrows in the chest, but not in the back. With republicans in congress in disarray, the clock is now ticking.

We need to do this as a team, and it needs to include fixes that ensure we do not experience constant leadership challenges and crises.

If i knew it was a paul ryan rally for speaker of the house, i wouldnt be here. Reporter this afternoon, ryan met the socalled Freedom Caucus, Tea Party Members who bedeviled speaker john boehner. What do you think of the conditions that he laid down . I think he doesnt want the job. Reporter one of the Freedom Caucus leaders told me theyre perfectly fine holding out for a leader who will listen more to them. We are going to find a speaker and we are going to find a good speaker, who might be paul ryan, it might be somebody else. Reporter so, this is now a test of wills.
