Biden reflects on losing his eldest son
Beau to brain cancer and the toll it took on him and his family. He describes his late son as having "all the best of me, but with the bugs and flaws engineered out." Biden also talks about the political implications his son's death had: his decision not to run for president in
2016 was in large part due to the grief he was still processing. He was further discouraged from running by
Hillary Clinton's
entry into the race and
President Obama's implied preference that Biden not dilute her support in the
primary elections. ==Reception==
