Biden to decide on 2020 run by January

Former Vice President Joe Biden has given himself a January deadline to decide on a 2020 presidential run, the Associated Press reports.

Why it matters: Running against Biden is what President Trump fears most, his advisers told Axios' Mike Allen earlier this year. Biden is one of the most popular figures among Democrats, but he could face resistance from the party's increasingly vocal progressive wing, which would likely prefer potential candidates like Sens. Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren.
