John Podesta says Hillary Clinton is not running in 2020, rejects reports as 'media catnip'

10. We are mostly on the same page Texas. The fact that Biden is still pondering whether to run or not,

is sure not a positive attribute regarding his decision making capabilities in my view. He has been thinking about this for decades. It is understandable his hesitation in 2016 because of his son. No one should be harsh on him for that, but this is for 2020, and it is time for him to commit or not.

There is no doubt his role in the Anita Hill hearings will be an issue, however, if he decides to run, whether that is an issue or not will be decided by the nomination process, and how he deals with it. For instance, if he doesn't recognize how Anita Hill was treated, and acknowledge that he did not protect her as was his obligation by presenting her witnesses, which he neglected to do, I think he will have a difficult time achieving the nomination.
