for donald trump. >> host: a couple of stories to show. bide -- biden considering a run. he's going to have a conference and likely to come up and support what the president has done on that. >> biden is pretty impressive, i'd rather say. so you get the detail which has to come from either the vice president himself or someone very, very close to biden family. we get the account of the biden meeting on saturday. only two people in that meeting. we get a sense that they were having an interesting talk about whether she needs -- he should run. thenni you have with president obama yesterday. we give the sense that president obama gave blessing in away. i mean, the moment i saw -- i thought he was going to run. i do think he wants to run. he's run before. i think he will run and it shows how much, you know, no, hillary clinton, that's not thnte case anymore. it's a real race. the question is if biden gets in, wait six weeks or october. the first democratic debate is october 13, so he'll get in before that. it makes me wonder whether he will get in sooner, labor day. biden has been there fo

biden. this is a regular thing between the president and vice president. their regular monday lunch dates are apparently part of the deal that joe biden says he made with president obama when he agreed to become his running mate in the first place. but today, ooh, that lunch. today speculation reaching fever pitch that vice president biden might himself decide to run for president and if you evered that chance to be a fly on the wall at one of those lunches today is the day you would want to be there. we'll have more on the prospects of a joe biden presidential run coming up in a couple minutes on this show. you might have heard today for example that vice president biden filed his fec paperwork to start a run for president. if you heard that today -- that is not true. and the way that rumor turns out to be not true is hilarious. that story is coming up. but president obama upon coming back from vacation today after two weeks, his first order of business was that lunch with joe biden which i would have died to be in on. second order of business was going to las vegas. that's the sor

the developments with vice president biden and former vice president gore. thanks for being with us here. social media blew up and lit up with a buzzfeed report saying that gore is now expressing interest, know that broad term, expressing interest, what exactly does that mean as far as the level of interest? >> well, look, francis, i spoke to democrat who is very plugged in, familiar with the thinking of former vice president gore who says there's really no substance to these discussions. his spokesperson knocking it down pretty firmly. mcmann nis saying this, quote, there's no truth to it. he's laser focus and solving the climate crisis. what is also true is that you have democrats, gore supporters, who are starting to talk about the possibility of a gore run, who are batting that idea around. and the reason is because a lot of democrats are getting jittery about secretary hillary clinton's chances in a general election. they're concerned this e-mail issue is making her vulnerable, that this could be a drip, drip, drip that really weakens her in a general election. so they're looki

gwen: the august politics puzzle. what's really? is joe biden about to jump in? is hillary clinton in trouble? and can donald trump get any more outrageous? parties are trying to figure it out and so are we. tonight, on "washington week." democrats make their case. hillary clinton: their flamboyant front runner has grabbed a lot of attention you look atf everyone else's policies, they're pretty much the same. they're trump without the pizzazz or the hair. >> i, for one, will not remain the face of the lies, the distortions and the racist out over the airwaves from the debate podiums proud republican party. gwen: could joe biden turn down the wayside donald trump has for the republicans. what the: you know good thing is about me? i don't need anybody's money. house, as thehite post-vacation president eyes the fresh he gears up for fights with congress. president obama: nobody gets to hold the american economy hostage over their own demands.al you expect better. dan: covering the week, balz, chief correspondent for "the washington post," carol lee, white house correspondent journal",

been talking about hillary: ton. let's talk about joe biden now. giving his blessing for the 2016 bid. how important is this? >> i would not be surprised if joe biden doesn't end up running. i also think he probably always had this idea in the back of his pocket. i'm sorry, i don't think this is a late blooming idea. and i don't think it's a done deal. i think he never let dwro of this possibility. >> do you think that a speculation about a biden bid, does that make hillary run harder? rather than just watching her opponents go at each other? >> i think she's losing a little sleep. this is a scary thing. this changes the nature of the campaign. one big potential upside for her is she would have won something real. it was a real fight. she will, in some ways, look like the stronger nominee. between this point and that point is a lot of delicate work. how do you run against a former member of the administration. >> we love having you here. thank you for showing up. coming up, donald trump blasts gop rivals in iowa. but what about the democrat sns who is best to take him on? is it hi
