It’s moving so quickly,” Biden said when asked on the White House lawn for his thoughts on the GOP field.“It seems like a lot of competent candidates are trying to get the nomination, so we’ll see.”He didn’t identify by name which Republican candidates he considers competent., presenting 76-year-old Trump his stiffest competition yet.REUTERS
