PITTSBURGH — Joe Biden may not have announced his decision to run for president in his Labor Day speech to union workers… but the raucous applause and enthusiasm he received is more commonly reserved for presidential candidates… As Biden stood on the stage soaking in the adoration the crowd began chanting “Run Joe run!” prompting the vice president to grin ear to ear.
