This is Biden’s third run for president. He ran in the 1988 cycle and dropped out the fall before the primaries began. He ran in 2008 and dropped out after finishing fifth in Iowa. This is the furthest he’s made it in a presidential campaign
HAMPTON, N.H. — It was two days before the New Hampshire primary, and Joe Biden was talking about 13th century common law.
“So many women were dying at the hands of their husbands beating them, that English common law, in the late 1300s ... 1390 or something like that, changed the law and said you could no longer beat your wife with a rod thicker than the circumference of your thumb,” Biden said. “But you could beat her. … We have a serious cultural problem in this country. But we can change it. That’s why I wrote the legislation.
Story continuesBut Biden’s attempts to minimize his fourth-place finish in Iowa last week have done little to stop his support from plummeting in public polling. He had one of the smallest groups of supporters at a gathering of all the candidates on Saturday night. And his campaign events here in New Hampshire on Sunday did nothing to counter the idea that his candidacy risks flaming out.
He is setting his sights on the South Carolina primary on Feb. 29, of which he has been the frontrunner all year in polling, in large part because he has retained the support of African-American voters in that state. But he allowed that things could change. “It remains to be seen,” he said.
