"Vice President Joe Biden is resurfacing his old Twitter account in anticipation of the upcoming midterm elections.\nIt's been 16 months since the VPOTUS used @JoeBiden to wish us a \"happy and safe holiday season\" on Christmas Eve in 2012. Since then, the account has been dormant \u2014 save for a few retweets \u2014 leaving 550,000 followers waiting.\nSee also: 10 Hysterical Political Parodies on Twitter\nMonday morning, \"Joe\" tweeted that he's back.\n\"Dusting off the Twitter handle for a big midterm election year,\" @JoeBiden tweeted. \"Let's get to it, folks! \u2013Joe\"\n\nDusting off the Twitter handle for a big midterm election year. Let's get to it, folks! \u2013Joe\n\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) April 7, 2014\n\nThe account is managed by Democratic party officials, but its profile states that tweets signed \"Joe\" are sent (or at least written) by Vice President Biden. \nMonday's tweet is the first sign that the vice president is gearing up for a midterm election season that early national polling shows may brutal for Democrats.\nA White House-managed account, @VP, is saved for official Vice President communications and is not used for campaigns. That account has less than half the followers as @JoeBiden, with 276,000.\nIn honor of the return of @JoeBiden, see some of its best tweets\nPizza Joe\n\nA favorite Joe photo from November: pizza party. pic.twitter.com/jwskw5pi\n\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 19, 2012\n\nThumbs up\n\nThumbs up for VP Biden\u2019s final campaign stop in Ohio today: pic.twitter.com/dKbjnySQ\n\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 6, 2012\n\nPumpkin carving season\n\nInspiration for pumpkin carving season, thanks to @OFA_CT: pic.twitter.com/EAlyrKfm\n\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 23, 2012\n\nDQ Edition\n\nJoe photo of the day, DQ edition: pic.twitter.com/U8bm8a3r\n\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 20, 2012\n\nA new friend\n\nJoe photo of the day: A new friend in Reno, NV. pic.twitter.com/8B0teuFb\n\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 19, 2012\n\nKeep the faith\n\n\u201CKeep the faith\u201D: http://t.co/QUdeHeWP pic.twitter.com/mdUnSWcI\n\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 3, 2012\n\nA favorite\n\nA favorite Joe photo: pic.twitter.com/0GWBE8aa\n\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) September 24, 2012\n\nGrabbing a bite\n\nGrabbing a bite in Muscatine, Iowa: pic.twitter.com/5FWSbVTm\n\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) September 20, 2012\n\nRidin' with Biden\r\n\nRT if you\u2019re ridin\u2019 with Biden: pic.twitter.com/R7Alb7jU\n\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) September 2, 2012\n\r\n\r\nSurprise huddle\r\n\nVP Biden called a surprise huddle at a high school football practice in Danville, VA yesterday: http://t.co/6R5NPYLt pic.twitter.com/NqL5yGNp\n\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 14, 2012\n\r\n\r\nCharming the locals\r\n\nCharming the locals in Manchester, Iowa: pic.twitter.com/8A6ocJ3H\n\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) July 31, 2012\n\r\n\r\nThank you\r\n\nFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you. pic.twitter.com/rN0vOSR0\n\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 7, 2012\n\r\n\n\n\n\n      window._msla=window.loadScriptAsync||function(src,id){if(document.getElementById(id))return;var js=document.createElement('script');js.id=id;js.src=src;document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);};\n_msla(\"//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\",\"twitter_jssdk\");"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
