Biden Back at Work After Son’s Death

“Joe Biden began a process on Wednesday that’s all too familiar for him: working through his grief by getting back to work,” Politico reports.

“The vice president returned to a White House full of affection for him, thinking about him, talking about him. The outpouring of sympathy has been a reminder of the sometimes amorphous but integral role he plays in the West Wing: the emotional center and gut check, the manager of significant parts of the foreign policy portfolio, and a truly loved and trusted friend of President Barack Obama.”
