Beau is Biden’s first son with his late wife, Neilia, and was born on February 3, 1969. He died on May 30, 2015 from brain cancer. Before his death, Beau worked as a politician like his father.

During his political career, Beau also worked closely with Vice President Kamala Harris.
At the 2020 Democratic National Convention, Jill paid tribute to her late stepson. “After our son, Beau, died of cancer, I wondered if I would ever smile or feel joy again. It was summer, but there was no warmth left for me,” she said at the time. “Four days after Beau’s funeral, I watched Joe shave and put on his suit. I saw him steel himself in the mirror, take a breath, put his shoulders back, and walk out into a world empty of our son. He went back to work. That’s just who he is.” Beau is survived by his wife, Haillie Olivere, and his two children.

I’m saying sorry to him,” Hunter recalled of a conversation with his father to the New Yorker. “And he says, ‘I’m the one who’s sorry,’ and we have an ongoing debate about who should be more sorry. And we both realize that the only true antidote to any of this is winning. He says, ‘Look, it’s going to go away.’ There is truly a higher purpose here, and this will go away. So can you survive the assault?”
