President Obama declined to say in an interview with ABC News whether he would stay neutral in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election that could potentially pit Vice President Joe Biden against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
“What I would say to folks out there is we are tremendously lucky to have an incredible former secretary of state who couldn’t have served me better,” said Obama, “and an incredible vice president who couldn’t, who couldn’t be serving me better. And I suspect if you asked both of them, they’d say, ‘It’s way too premature to start talking about 2016.'”
