Joe Biden hasn’t announced whether he’s running for president or not, but he already has several celebrities backing him.
During the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor event in Washington, D.C. Sunday, Kevin Nealon said he would support Biden if he ran.
“I’m hoping Joe Biden gets into the race,” Nealon said. “I think it’ll give Hillary a little more run for the money.”
“He’ll bring forth some ideas that maybe might be an alternative to her ideas and campaign.” (VIDEO: Hillary Clinton: Kim Kardashian Is ‘Inspirational’)

Joe Piscopo, another former “Saturday Night Live” cast member, said he wanted Biden to run, too. (RELATED: Celebrities Criticize All White Democratic Debate: ‘This Isn’t America’)
“I love Joe Biden,” Piscopo said. “If Joe went in, I think he could almost shift everything, because Hillary’s going to have some situations with the Justice Department now.”
It was reported Monday that Biden would announce his decision within the next 48 hours. He unsuccessfully sought the Democratic party’s nomination in 1988 and 2008. (RELATED: Democratic Congressman Says Joe Biden Is Running For President)
