New York Times: “Biden is still haunted by the memory of a son he had always described to confidants as ‘me, but without all the downsides,’ and … his anguish over that loss can clash with the political realities of being president.”
“The president still sometimes mentions his son in the present tense in private discussions… He carries his son’s rosary beads with him, once holding them aloft during a virtual meeting at the White House this spring with the president of Mexico. Several people close to Mr. Biden conceded that he sometimes does not always seem to be aware that broaching his own loss can make others uncomfortable.”
