Vice President Joe Biden now believes that California Gov. Jerry Brown is the "smartest guy in the room," according to White House pool reports.
The San Francisco Chronicle reprinted the report from David Siders of the Sacramento Bee:
"Nothing has changed," Biden said of Brown, who was governor before from 1975 to 1983. Biden said he met Brown in San Francisco in the 1970s. He said, "He was the smartest guy in American politics then. He’s still the smartest guy in American politics."
"He speaks his mind," Biden said, and the crowd laughed when he said, "I like guys like that."
