Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden is back in full campaign mode after suffering a stroke in May, but was coy about his future plans in an interview published Thursday.

Biden â€" the oldest son of Vice President Joe Biden â€" was rumored to have wanted to run for the Senate seat once held by his father. But in an interview with The Associated Press, the most extensive he has given since his hospitalization, Biden gave few clues about what he wants to do next.

This cycle, Biden is running for ree! lection as state attorney general, and does not face a Republican opponent.

"I'm focusing on being a great attorney general," said Biden. "Having long-term dreams is a good thing ... but having a plan has never worked for me, because life always intervenes."

In November, voters will go to the polls for a special election to determine who fills out the remaining four years of the elder Biden's Senate term.

Republican Rep. Mike Castle is the front-runner to face the likely Democratic nominee Chris Coons. But the possibility remains that Biden could run for the seat in 2014, when the seat's current term expires.

Joe Biden, the former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, held the seat from 1973 to 2009, when he resigned to become vice president. 

Beau Biden also reflected on the day he had his stroke:

"I remember it all," he says, adding that he believes he may have been a "little dehydrated and overcaffeinated" from the night! before, when he ran four miles before putting his two young children to bed and staying up late to work on a broken chainsaw.

The next morning, something was wrong.

"I was just a little off," Biden explained. "My arm didn't feel right. I was able to move it, but I just wasn't myself."
