Bidens pin hopes on South Carolina, a state they've turned to before via jonward11
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — As Jill Biden looked into the faces of the several dozen people gathered before her in the hall of Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church, she talked about coming to this state in 2015 a few weeks after Beau Biden, the elder of Joe Biden’s two sons, died of brain cancer.
The Bidens spent some time on Kiawah Island in June 2015, after Beau’s death. “Everything was darkened by the shadow of his death,” Jill Biden wrote in her 2019 memoir. “So we gathered up the kids and grandkids and headed to the beach, hoping for some healing from the clean salt air.” Story continuesIt is that sense of enduring through suffering and tragedy that defines Biden now, who lost his first wife, Neilia, and their 1-year old daughter, Naomi, in a car accident in 1972. Beau and his younger brother, Hunter, were injured in that crash and survived. But now Hunter’s own personal problems and questionable business decisions have become a political liability to his father.
“I’ve known the Bidens from before Vice President Biden was Vice President Biden. He’s come to our home several times,” Mack said. And he told the audience that his mother had passed away a few weeks ago, and the Biden family had sent flowers in her honor.
