Vice President Joe Biden is reportedly vacationing on Kiawah Island off the coast of South Carolina, but the trip conveniently puts him in position to test the waters in the early primary state.
According to insiders who spoke on condition of anonymity, Biden is making the sort of phone calls and having conversations that traditionally come just before a decision to run for high office.
Biden reportedly has also authorized advisers to begin contacting operatives in all the early primary states to put them on the ready in case he decides to run.
With Hillary tanking in the polls and Bernie Sanders exposing the soft underbelly of the Democrat electorate, the push by Biden supporters is reaching a fevered pitch.
