From DelawareOnline:
“I will be fulfilling my military orders,” Biden said in an e-mail note sent late Monday, as he prepared to deploy overseas with the 261st Signal Brigade of the Delaware Army National Guard “I have not sought and will not accept an appointment to the United States Senate; and look forward to returning to my work as attorney general of the state of Delaware.”
Sen. Biden has long been seen as hoping to hand off his seat to his oldest son. But the Delaware National Guard deployment complicated the picture — leading to a makeshift “Send J.C. to D.C.” button campaign earlier this month on behalf of Lt. Gov. John Carney, who is considered another leading candidate for the job.
