But despite almost five decades in the political arena, Mr. Biden, 76, did not have an agile, fully staffed campaign in place to confront it. He issued three statements and one online video attempting to explain his conduct, only to joke about the issue in a speech to a union conference Friday. Far from remaining above the fray, Mr. Biden will enter the campaign as bruised as any of the 16 other candidates already in the race. But if the attacks from Mr. Trump and his allies illustrated that Republicans are worried about facing Mr. Biden, the controversy this past week has also shined a light on the risks Democrats would be taking in nominating him — and not just because of his recent problems. Yet his decision to wait on announcing his candidacy has come with a cost, in part because he did not use the time to better prepare for some of the most inevitable questions about his lengthy record in politics. (Mr. Obama himself has been tight-lipped during his former running mate’s difficult week; a spokesman for the former president declined to comment while noting that Mr. Obama had praised Mr. Biden warmly in recent months.) His aides have contacted at least two Democratic officials, James Singer and Helen Smith, about research jobs, but Mr. Singer went to work for Ms. Harris and Ms. Smith is planning to work on a House race. Patti Solis Doyle, who managed Mrs. Clinton’s campaign in 2008, said Mr. Biden had already sacrificed some of his political strength by waiting so long. After declaring at a Democratic fund-raising dinner in Delaware last month that he would be “the most progressive candidate” in the race, Mr. Biden clarified on Friday that he meant his positions on issues like race and L.G.B.T. Mr. Biden’s “only sin,” he said, “is he loved people.” But, Mr. Morgan added, it was past time for Mr. Biden to make a decision about the race.
