Democratic fundraisers started circulating a petition Friday to urge Vice President Joe Biden to run for president, Reuters reports.
"To finish the job, America needs a leader who is respected both home and abroad, and who understands the real challenges facing American families," read the letter signed by nearly 50 people. "In our opinion, the next president must be Joe Biden. If he announces he's running, we're all in. It's a campaign we know he will win."
