Democratic strategists from iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. The conversation how not whether hell launch a campaign. With the stature he would bring to the race, the minute he got into the race, the entire narrative would change. Reporter new this morning, a look inside bidens possible 2016 run. A close adviser to biden, former delaware senator ted coffman sent an email obtained by cnn to his former staffers asking for their help if the Vice President decides to run. In it, he says it will be a campaign from the heart. A campaign consistent with his values, our values and the values of the American People. He went on to say, if he runs, hell run because of his burning conviction that we need to fundamentally change the balance of our economy. And the political structure to restore the ability of the middle class to get ahead. Coffman writing in the email, biden believes we must win this election or in the hands of the rains, everything that he and the president have worked for and care about is at stake. Friends of biden who have spoken to him say hes not afraid to lose. Even in the wake of a strong debate performance this week by Hillary Clinton and vermont senator Bernie Sanders. How are you in nice to see you. Reporter the Vice President has asked several democratic strategists in early states to work for him if he decides to run. Fundraisers and supporters are also waiting in the wings to join his campaign if he moves forward. Now, biden has run for president twice before, of course, and lost. In 1988 and then again in 2008. Hes never run before, of course, as a sitting Vice President. He truly believes he would be the best person to carry on this democratic message forward. He knows that time is running short and will announce his decision in the coming days. Chris and brooke. In the coming days we will wait for it. This could potentially be huge obviously for this 2016 race. Jeff zeleny, thank you so much. First a 2016 candidates reporting their Third Quarter fundraising numbers now. Who is winning the money race . And Building Momentum coming out of those debates, cnn chief Business CorrespondentChristine Roman was singing money money money as she was walking into the studio. Money makes the political process go round. These are year to date numbers right here. This is money raised by the campaigns, this does not include super pac money. When you include super pac money, theres a huge disparity. The outsiders are disrupting the money game just like theyre disrupting the polling. In the Third Quarter ben carson almost 21 million. Whats important to note is the momentum for dr. Carson. Jeb bush, his supporters relieved this morning. Hes raising an awful lot of money, 13. 4 million. More than in the first quarter. He has an expensive ground game. We lost our board. He needs that money to keep coming in and it is. Look at ted cruz, Second Quarter, 10 million. He raised more than 12 million in the Third Quarter. Thats the narrative of the outsider still drawing the money. Donald trump, 3. 8 million hes not even soliciting donations. Hillary clinton in the Second Quarter, 47 million, 29 in the Third Quarter. Bernie sanders, hes the outsider, again, with that momentum. So again these are the numbers. This is what the candidates have raised. Its not super pac money. That super pac money is hundreds of millions of dollars. That cant be used for the daytoday campaign operations. Youll see that in tv advertising probably later. These numbers show you its the outsiders getting momentum. Worth noting, Bernie Sanders, 650,000 individual donors. Thats way more than Hillary Clinton with 400,000. Guys . That is certainly a notable distinction. Otherwise the main headline has to be, boy, theres a lot of money out there. A lot of money. And people willing to give it to get influence. Lets discuss the big news of the day. Lets bring back jeff zeleny in london. Thank you for coming in on vacation, maeve reston and political anchor for new york one, errol lewis. Jeff, in terms of lets circle back to your reporting there on joe biden. What is going on right now . Obviously were watching the timing but if this is about the question of why more than how for the biden people. What are you hearing . Theres no doubt about that, chris. He is calling around to gauge support, to see if there is the traction, the space, the oxygen in this democratic president ial campaign. He simply believes that he would be the best nominee for this party. Not surprising, of course. He was in the senate for four decades. Hes long wanted to be president. Being so close to president obama all these years has made him want that even more. He believes there is room. In this year of authenticity, when voters are craving an unscripted, authentic candidate, he believes he could be that person. The question is will he go forward with this . The Democratic Party has seen him flirt with this before and back away. Many people believe he will back away this time. I can tell you, chris, people who he is actually talking to are left with the impression that he is running. I talked with somebody who talked with him just last night, they said, gosh, owe sure sounds like hes running. Well find out in the coming days. Heres my question to you, errol, if he goes for it, there are a lot of biden people working with the Hillary Clinton campaign. They know the secret playbook, they know strategy. Would they be able to jump ship and support biden, therefore, taking trade secrets with them. The highest level of these professionals may have in fact signed nondisclosure agreements. On the other hand, its not really Rocket Science how you decide to run and where were going to put the emphasis on this state or that state. We could probably game it out here at the table about as well as anybody could take to the Biden Campaign. If hes going to get an advantage, its not going to be from that. Its going to be from some of the endorsements shes got. I think she has over 100 members of congress have endorsed Hillary Clinton. When some of them start to peel official or shift to neutral, it starts to make a difference. The strategy itself, though, money, money, money, very much as christine said plus getting a ground game in place very, very quickly in the early states. Trade secrets are really not a big factor of doing these types of campaigns. Theres very little that is unknown, right . Its about who you locked in in terms of the bigger names, the more valuable names in terms of analysis and polling to help you with your ground game. A lot of them are taken up. Thats true. But maeve, to you, the question with joe biden is a different analysis than it would be if it were a different politician because this is a man whos going to run if he feels it as opposed to whether forensically it makes sense. It is a stark contrast between team biden and team clinton. What are you hearing about that . Well, when you talk to biden sources out there, they say as jeff noted that the first concern is family. We know hes spending every weekend with his grandchildren right now. His family has been through a difficult time. That is whats made it such a difficult decision for him at a time when everyone is grieving. But there is a very clerical clus here, not just on family side, the personal side. Also the money side. Think about Hillary Clintons dont ares, right . The clinton world has been known for a long time about, you know, keeping their enemies close and making sure that people stay on their side. So youre not going to see a situation like you do on the republican side where donors are giving to two candidates at the same time. I think thats really one of biggest factors here for joe biden. Hes got staff out there that want to work for him. Hes got, you know, the ability to pull a ground game together really quickly. Question is whether or not donors will give to him without fear of retribution from clintons campaign. What about just from money, jeff zeleny, to the thrust of his campaign . You talked about this letter from senator coffman to the biden network. What more have we gleaned from that as far as Platform Campaign . I know its an Optimistic Campaign they say. It would be. It would be an Optimistic Campaign as a fighter for the middle class, middle class values. Essentially a third term of this president which would not necessarily be welcomed by a lot of voters. The president s Approval Rating is hovering just below 50 . That would be a challenge. In the democrat ic primary, it would be a welcome message. One advantage the Vice President would have, he, im told would have access to the email list, the Obama Campaign email list that served him so well in 2008 and 2012. Joe biden was his running mate, of course. He is a part owner of that. He would start out with this huge advantage. He could use that. Hes also looking to potential early endorsements from labor unions. Some Key International labor unions have been sitting on the sidelines essentially waiting for this. The firefighters, fciu, team steers, steelworkers. He has a long connection with them. If they wou do you think money matters, errol, in terms of making the decision . How you run the Campaign Money greases the way. Joe biden specifically, do you think hes asking the people if the money is there or figuring out whos with him . Its all of it. The money is not the big question. The big question is the why. You know . We understand hes going to try and sort of put things in place and hes talking to strategists and so forth. But which parts of the obama agenda is he go inge to separate himself from . If he carries that whole book of business in, if he as jeff suggested, maybe essentially is trying to run for a third obama term, theres a lot that hes going to have to answer for. The arab spring, the faltering of the economy this summer. I mean, there will be a lot of different things. We want to see, well need to see, which pieces of the obama agenda is he going to sort of create a subtle distinction from . This is something that Hillary Clinton has been doing for the last few months on the keystone xl pipeline, a number of different arctic drilling, a number of different issues. If joe biden will be one more time the same old stuff, you know, hope and change but minus the change, i dont know if thats going to work. The easy decision for him is to not run. Hes had a very established career. This was a pinnacle of it being Vice President of the United States. I cant tell you how Many Democrats are saying after the debate, everybodys good. They did a good job. Imagine if you can combine her pedigree with Bernie Sanders to tap into the bass of the party. That combination is joe biden. Thats a tempting thing for a guy whos always wanted to fight the good fight. Since 1988. Maeve knows, anybody whos been around joe biden hes a fighter. He wants to make the fight. This has to be a balanced decision he has going on inside of him right now. Great reporting. Thank you. As always, this afternoon, great perspective on this issue.
