CNN: ‘Heads Exploding’ in Biden’s Office Over Reports on WH Prepping Hillary

‘Biden ... I think he just wants a little bit of respect’

CNN: ‘Heads Exploding’ In VP’s Office Over Reports WH Is Prepping Hillary Staff for 2016 (Washington Free Beacon)

CNN reporter Peter Hamby said a report out of today’s Wall Street Journal concerning White House staff planning for a possible Hillary 2016 run must be causing consternation in Vice President Biden’s office Wednesday on New Day.

The Journal’s story indicated White House chief counsel John Podesta is trying to organize meetings between Clinton and White House staff to prepare for her eventual campaign.

John King brought up the report in reaction to Clinton’s remarks yesterday in Canada concerning her presidential ambitions .

The New Day anchor asked Hamby if the White House’s alleged actions are a “slap” at Vice President Biden.

Hamby said “it certainly seems like it,” adding Podesta’s behind the scenes meddling isjust the latest instance of Obama personnel disrespecting Biden as he ponders a 2016 run.
