Former US Vice-President Joe Biden may have accidentally let slip he may be planning to run for President in 2020.

Mr Biden was speaking at a Democratic Party dinner over the weekend when he said he had “the most progressive record of anybody running.”

The crowd reportedly erupted into chants of “run Joe, run!” but Mr Biden insists it was merely a slip of the tongue and he meant to say he had “the most progressive record of anybody who WOULD run.”

If Mr Biden chose to run in the 2020 election, he would be facing candidates such as current US President Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders and R&B singer, Akon.
