White House backs Biden for VP

August 17, 2012 01:24

The White House today ruled out dropping Vice President Joe Biden, and told former Republican nominee John McCain that with his track record he was in no position to give advice on running mates.

Several prominent Republicans suggested the gaffe-prone Biden should be replaced on President Barack Obama's Democratic ticket after he enraged Republican candidate Mitt Romney with an attack this week.

McCain, the Republican candidate in 2008 who chose the much criticised Sarah Palin as his running mate, said on Fox News yesterday that it might be "wise" to swap Biden for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
