Todd: Clinton Camp Is Leaking Biden Rumors, ‘Trying to Smoke Him Out’

TODD: “Jerry, there's a couple things that I found out in my reporting, number one, there's going to be a big family vacation that the Bidens will have, and that's likely sometime in the next couple weeks, where the real decision gets made. And remember, his sister ran his campaign, his niece was political director. These are family decisions. But it is, the other aspect of this is how serious, I mean, are donors asking for this? Do we think that there are other Democrats that are getting nervous about Hillary?”

SEIB: “Well, that's one of the questions. There are many questions. I don't think that her situation has changed a lot in the last few weeks. We wrote about this a few weeks ago, the family has always, as you suggested, thought this was a good idea. Hunter, not just Beau Biden, has apparently said, ‘You should do this.’ But there are also people in the Biden world who are not sure it's a good idea, they don't want him to go out in his national political career on a down note. And the donors' question is an open one. A lot of money's been committed to Hillary Clinton already.”

TODD: “And some of his staffers. But I'll tell you, Kathleen, what's interesting here is that some of this is driven by that the Clinton people are trying to smoke him out. That actually, that they have leaked these anecdotes, because he's sitting out there, sort of hovering over the campaign, and it makes him nervous.”
