EXECUTIVE SUPPORT –
June 11, 2024 – “Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today,” Biden wrote. “So many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing someone you love come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery.”
Biden aides and allies have privately worried about the toll a guilty verdict would take on the 81-year-old president, for whom personal loss has been closely intertwined with his public life. They say the president is less worried about any personal political cost he might incur and more concerned as the father of a son who is only a few years removed from the throes of severe drug addiction.
Joe Biden left Washington for his Delaware home on Tuesday afternoon, where Hunter Biden, his wife Melissa and their toddler Beau awaited the president on the tarmac. Joe Biden gave his son a big hug, and hugged Melissa, too. He ran his hand through Beau’s hair and kissed the top of his head, the president’s emotions clear on his face. The family lingered on the tarmac for a few minutes before they got into separate cars and headed to the residence.
