Sad: Joe Biden’s mother-in-law passed away today
Thoughts and prayers for the Biden family.
CNN:
Joe Biden’s spokesman said the Delaware senator would be canceling campaign events Monday and Tuesday in the wake of his mother-in-law’s death Sunday.”Other details will follow, but we appreciate everyone’s respect for the family’s privacy during this difficult time,” wrote Biden spokesman David Wade.
Bonnie Jacobs, Jill Biden’s mother, had been sick for a long time and was living in a hospice.
Wade announced Saturday that Sunday and Monday’s events were canceled after doctors told the family to stay close by. He said the family is now together at home in Wilmington.
The death comes the same day Biden’s son Beau deploys with his National Guard unit to a mobilization station in Texas before a tour in Iraq.
God, that’s a lot to deal with in one day, especially during a presidential campaign.
