His son's death was the reason he gave for not running in '16...now it's the reason he's running? Also he's already run for president before, and his son was probably referring specifically to the '16 race. Let's not mince words though. He's probably going to run, and it'll be because the polls show he can most definitely win, and he likes the idea of being President Joe Biden. He has little other reason to run besides that. He has less of a clear vision than even Hillary did. "Avenge my son's death by promoting cancer research" is a cute, heartwarming story, but not a reason to run for president.

It was too soon in 2016, him still being very scarred by the event and emotionally unfit to run. But that doesn't rule out that he wants to become president to honor him now.

But again, you don't run for president to honor dead relatives. That's a dumb reason. You run because you have a vision for the country that you want to lead it into.
