| Biden won't run in 2016, boosting Clinton's White House hopes Posted: 21 Oct 2015 04:16 PM PDT  By Jeff Mason and John Whitesides WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said on Wednesday he would not run for president in 2016, ending months of indecision and removing one of Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton's biggest potential obstacles to the party's nomination. Biden, 72, appeared in the White House Rose Garden with his wife Jill and President Barack Obama to say the window for mounting a successful campaign had closed.

| At odds with Republicans, Hillary Clinton to testify on Benghazi Posted: 21 Oct 2015 03:11 PM PDT  By Jonathan Allen and Susan Cornwell WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Whether it's a fact-finding mission as Republicans insist or the political witch hunt that Democrats anticipate, the congressional committee investigating the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on Thursday will hear from Hillary Clinton, then the secretary of state and now the top candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. Clinton and many of her fellow Democrats have seized on the comments in recent weeks by Republican lawmakers as evidence that the goal of the Benghazi committee in the U.S. House of Representatives was to hurt her front-runner status in the campaign for the November 2016 election. Clinton's appearance follows months of unflattering reports about her use of a private home email server for her State Department work.
