WASHINGTON, D.C. - With former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's polling numbers continuing to plummet, many Democrats are turning to Vice-President Joe Biden to salvage the party's panic that Clinton's email scandal may further sink her campaign.
According to recent polls, Mrs. Clinton is struggling in several battleground states against several of her potential Republican challengers. This news, coupled with Vice-President Biden's recent moves signifying his interest in mounting a third bid for the White House, has sparked some to dust off the former longtime U.S. Senator's campaign gear.
