The 27-year-old executive director of Draft Biden 2016, a super PAC dedicated to luring the vice president into the presidential race, is greeted by Biden’s friendly face on a life-sized cutout every morning. It is visible through exterior glass walls in the Chicago office, drawing attention from workers who stop to snap pictures with the cutout. Pierce sits at his desk surrounded by Draft Biden signage and stickers.

After working for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2008 and volunteering for Obama’s that same year, Pierce held a number of jobs in Congressional and gubernatorial campaigns, mostly doing field organizing.

In a recent interview with ABC News, Pierce said he is convinced his efforts to recruit Biden are working. And with a new wave of speculation about a potential Biden run, he may be on to something. Josh Alcorn, an advisor to the late Beau Biden, has even signed on to join Pierce’s super PAC team.
