Joe Biden has not decided on his participation in the elections.

US Vice President Joe Biden admitted that he was not sure whether he was ready to start the election campaign after the recent death of his son.

Biden talked about this in an emotional conversation with broadcaster Stephen Colber on The Late Show on CBS.

According to the politician, the presidential candidate should be ready to invest all his soul in this business and devote all his energy to it.

“I would have lied if I said I felt such readiness,” admitted Biden.

Biden's son Bo, persuading his father to run for president, died in May from brain cancer.

The vice president described how he had recently lost composure during a meeting with military personnel and their families in Denver, when one of the military approached him and said that he had served with Bo in Iraq. “I don’t have to say this - you can’t do that,” Biden said on the air, meaning that the presidential candidate could not cry in public.

In December 1972, Biden lost his wife and daughter in a car accident, in which Bo and another Biden son, Hunter, were also injured.

Responding to a question from Colbert about how he is coping with his grief, Biden said that the Catholic faith brings “great consolation” to him.

Colbert began to run the program The Late Show only this week, replacing the lead David Letterman. The other day, Colbert interviewed Jeb Bush, talking to him about his presidential nomination. An interview with another Republican candidate, Donald Trump, is also planned.
