Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden expressed his and his wife’s sympathies on the passing of President Trump’s younger brother, Robert, while Donald Trump spend the day at his Bedminster golf club.
Mr. President, Jill and I are sad to learn of your younger brother Robert’s passing. I know the tremendous pain of losing a loved one — and I know how important family is in moments like these. I hope you know that our prayers are with you all.

In the past, Trump has notably ignored the passing of influential people or their family members, and Trump has refused to ignore the impact leaders like John Lewis.
