Ashley and Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s surviving children, along with a video of the late Beau Biden, introduced their father for his nomination acceptance speech.
Biden’s origin story was introduced Valerie Biden Owens, Joe’s sister, from his Irish-Catholic family’s difficulties in post-war Scranton to overcoming a stutter in school. Biden left a law firm to become a public defender during the Civil Rights era, and ran for Senate when just 29 years old.
Biden lost his wife and daughter in a car accident after he entered the Senate and considered leaving the Senate to are for his two sons. His second wife, Jill, however, brought the family new light, and gave Joe new hope to move forward.
