Before Biden accepted the VP nomination, he seriously considered whether he might rather serve as secretary of state in an Obama administration. He consulted with some consultants.
"They convinced me that I could have more influence on policy as a Vice-President with Barack,” Biden said.
One has to wonder how Biden must feel now that former rival Hillary Clinton (and by extension Bill) has received the secretary of state nomination. Will a Biden VP feel threatened by a Clinton team at the state department?
According to the article you read in the New Yorker, Biden is close with the couple. In fact, Hillary once told him, “I think you and Bill were separated at birth."
