On ABC's Good Morning America, Biden said Thursday he is considering a run for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by his father Joe, now the vice president. Biden, a Democrat, recently returned from his deployment to Iraq, where he served as a captain in the Delaware National Guard.
"There's time to make that decision... But I'm going to, first things first, make sure I focus on my family, focus on my job. Look, am I considering it? Absolutely. Absolutely. But I'll be making the decision in due course," Biden said on Good Morning America.

Ted Kaufman has filled Joe Biden's seat since he resigned it. Former governor and current U.S. Rep. Mike Castle is seeking the Republican nomination.
