If you are interested, there is a documentary about his 2002 run for Mayor of Newark called Street Fight that is really good. It does a good job of showing the behind the scenes ugliness of many campaigns.
That aside, at this point it is still an eternity in political years away from the Presidential election so who knows if he will even end up running.
Personally, I think the Democrats need to nominate a younger candidate with a lot of energy who can appeal to younger voters. So long as they don't make the mistake of nominating Hillary again (and I kind of think Biden might not be very good for them either), they have a legit shot of beating Trump.
