Supporters say the appearance before the republicanled committee is all about politics. Abcs Serena Marshall has a preview. Reporter eight hours at least in front of the House Select Committee on benghazi for democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. Investigating the september 11th, 2012, attacks that left ambassador Chris Stevens and three other americans dead. It was the first time in three decades that an american diplomat died over seas. Clinton took responsibility. The fact is we had four dead americans. Was it because of a protest or it was because of guys out for a walk one night decided they would go kill some americans .

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 colbert. But i find myself you understand it, i just sometimes, it just sort of overwhelms you. Reporter in the rose garden, with virtually all of the president ing and Vice President s and 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, thats 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 we should look at republicans as our enemies. They are our opposition. They are not our enemies. And for the sake of the country, we have to work together. Shortly after he walked out of the rose garden he received a call from Hillary Clinton who then put out a statement praising him saying i am confident that history isnt finished with joe biden.
