After days of speculation, Joe Biden has announced he will be running as a candidate for President of the US.
The move marks what will likely be the 76-year-old's final opportunity to seek a job he has eyed for more than a generation.
One of the most recognisable names in US politics, Mr Biden leads most early Democratic primary polls. But as an older white man who spent a half-century in Washington, it's unclear if he will be embraced by today's increasingly liberal Democratic Party. Mr Biden also faces myriad questions about his past, including recent claims he touched women in an overly familiar manner without their consent. He has since pledged to be"much more mindful" of respecting personal space.
