Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden announced last week that he will run for governor in 2016 and not seek reelection in November. Lt. Gov. Matt Denn declared his intent to succeed Biden as attorney general only a few days later.
“After careful consideration, I have concluded that it is not right to ask for your support in 2014, knowing that my focus would be divided between doing my job as attorney general while at the same time running as a candidate for governor,” Biden wrote April 17 in a letter to his supporters. “Therefore, I am announcing today that I will not seek reelection as your attorney general this November.”
