6. Another family tragedy
The young Joe Biden attempted to rebuild his family in 1977, and things seemed to be going well until the 2000s, when they didn’t. Up until the 2000s, the Biden family led an apparently normal life; his kids grew up and made lives of their own.
His eldest son, Beau, for example, became Delaware’s attorney general and also served the country in Iraq. Sadly, tragedy soon struck again when Beau suffered a stroke in 2010. Three years later, he was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Biden’s son underwent multiple treatment methods, such as radiation and chemotherapy, and surgery to remove a mass from his brain. Unfortunately, these treatments proved to be ineffective, and Beau died in 2015. The tragic event ignited a passion within Joe Biden to support the fight against cancer.
