Media mogul Rupert Murdoch likes Vice President Joe Biden's chances if he runs for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016.

"Looks like Biden already running," Murdoch tweeted late Monday. "Very likely he wins nomination and be hard to beat."

Murdoch's comments come as Biden reportedly nears a decision on a third Oval Office bid.

During a Labor Day speech in Pittsburgh on Monday, Biden heard chants of, "Run, Joe, run."

"I gotta talk to my wife about that," the vice president told one supporter.

Beau Biden, Joe Biden's son, died in May after a prolonged battle with brain cancer and reportedly urged his father to make a final attempt at becoming president.
