want, they, the most important in my life want me to run. i have not made a final decision, but don t be surprised. what else did the former vice president have to say today? reporter: well, anderson, i ve been traveling around the country with joe biden for the past few months, and this is the most revealing answer i ve heard him give when it comes to his 2020 decision making process. and he says he s cleared that major hurdle as family considerations have been at the top of his list, saying there s now a consensus among his family they do want to see him run in 2020. he did say he had some concerns about the president president trump might approach biden s family during a campaign. but for the most part the biden family now does appear to seem appears to be onboard with the 2020 run. biden also noted that he wants to make sure the campaign isn t
time watching all this. and the white house officials and the president s legal team will be looking at this as well. i talked to a source familiar with the president s legal team and their thinking who told me earlier this evening they don t expect to be a whole lot of bombshells to come out of michael cohen s testimony, they don t expect to hear anything dramatically new in terms of what he has to say. but they seem to agree inside the white house and the president s legal team this is going to be a major spectacle. keep in mind, anderson, in previous administrations when you had scandals like watergate, monica lewinsky, you had figures in the public. you had figures from administrations testify in front of the cameraess. that really hasn t happened up until this point in the trump administration. that is why if michael cohen says what he has says before i think no doubt we re going to be witnessing history when michael cohen testifies tomorrow in
a fools errand and they have all the pieces in place should he decide to run. take a listen. i i can die a happy man never having lived in the white house. but what i don t want to do is i don t want to take people s time, effort and commitment without there being a clear shot that i could be the nominee. i think we can. i think that s where we are, but there s still a couple of hurdles to go through to make sure we have all this in place. and if we conclude that, i will announce i d run for president. but, you know just say yes. well, but i m not there yet. so biden heard those words of encouragement here from a home state crowd in delaware. and while he seems to have worked through some of those family considerations, anderson,
they wanted to make sure that we were going to go directly to the airport. we were deported from venezuela and this is really interesting, thanks to the u.s. department and thanks to the american embassy and it s an american embassy anderson because even though the relationship between venezuela and the united states has been broken because of maduro, the u.s. does not recognize maduro as the real president. so there s a u.s. embassy and they helped us into vehicles with body guards and the mexican embassy with an extra vehicle to go all the way safely from the hotel to the airport. it was it was a difficult moment because we didn t know what could happen. it s a dictatorship and they can do anything they want. and we were concerned at the airport they could have
because he s not on the committee, and he wants to ask his serious question maybe about michael cohen s alleged extra marital affairs, which of course have an awful lot to do with the subject matter at hand. the world is waiting hoohear about who michael cohen has been having sex with. exactly. i have to say, anderson, my favorite line from gaetz today is this is what it looks like to compete in the marketplace of ideas. what idea is this? what idea is this? but i don t think we can underestimate just what a big deal this is tomorrow. because, you know, 50 years from now this is going to be these pictures of cohen talking about what went on, you know, just as we remember watergate through the lens of john dean s testimony we remember iran contrathrough the lens of oliver north s testimony, this is how american scandals get remembered. and we haven t had anyone talk this way yet. and, you know, i don t know
