The Delaware senator told two Obama aides during the 2008 election that he was too old to make another run for the White House.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama had gone back and forth over who to choose as his running mate. The final three picks included Biden, Indiana Senator Evan Bayh and Virginia Governor Tim Kaine.
Plus, Biden promised that he would never try to usurp Obama by launching another presidential bid. The Delaware senator told the two aides that he was too old to make another run for the White House. He also said he viewed being vice president as a"capstone" to his long political career.. Biden was apparently the only one of the three candidates to promise to never run for president.
But Biden pressed ahead, launching his third presidential bid in April. On the campaign trail, the former vice president frequently mentions Obama and the accomplishments of their administration. He once said he was most proud of the fact that there was not a"hint of scandal" during their time in the White House.
