U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Milwaukee, said that she wouldn’t be opposed to Vice President Joe Biden getting into the 2016 Democratic presidential primary.
Biden is reportedly considering challenging the other Democratic candidates, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Moore said Biden, Clinton and Sanders are good friends of hers, and it would be OK for all to be running for president.

“My thought is, it doesn’t hurt us to have a vigorous primary debate,” she said. “They’re certainly having it on the other side with the 17 candidates. It may be able to bring some issues to the table.”
Moore said she’s excited that Clinton is running, though she said she doesn’t think she’s endorsed the former U.S. senator and first lady. Moore said she might be close to the stage when Clinton visits Milwaukee in two weeks.
