What a difference a day makes.
When Joe Biden reportedly told a CNN reporter that he might have a proverbial crack at the U.S. presidency come 2020, political corners of the internet were a'flutter. But Vice President Biden's appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Tuesday quelled some of the excitement. For now at least.
In his first talk show appearance since the election, Biden explained that in matters of the presidency one should, as Bieber so poignantly put it, "never say never."
Colbert quizzed the meme lord after he lamented not running last election, though he says he ultimately "made the right decision."
Why say you're going to run if you don't mean it? According to Biden, it's for one cheeky reason, "So I could announce now that I'm not running, to be popular again."
He continued: "I can't see the circumstance in which I'd run. What I've learned a long time ago is to never say never, you don't know what's going to happen."
And of course, Biden managed to throw some shade at the president elect, quipping that in 2020, "Donald Trump's going to be 74. I'll be 77...in better shape."
