Joseph Robinette “Beau” Biden III, the son of Vice President Biden and former state attorney general of Delaware, died Saturday after battling brain cancer for several years.

Biden, 46, the oldest son of the vice president and the rising star of a family dynasty, had been admitted recently to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington as he fought the cancer, a battle that his father largely kept private in the last weeks as his son clung to his life.

“The entire Biden family is saddened beyond words. We know that Beau’s spirit will live on in all of us—especially through his brave wife, Hallie, and two remarkable children, Natalie and Hunter,” Vice President Biden said in a statement that was released Saturday night.

Yes, he was going to run for governor.
He and his brother survived the car crash that killed their sister and mother right after their father was first elected to the Senate in 1972.

RIP. Beau could've been the Biden that won the White House. I was really looking forward to his rising star.

Man, sort of came out of nowhere. His father announced he was being treated for an undisclosed illness on the 19th.

Depriving Atlas of a dynasty to fall in love with is a tragedy in and of itself. RIP Beau Biden.

There's always a possibility that someone who had previously ruled this out because they knew Biden would run would now change their mind.

But I expect no one will announce anything immediately because that would be bad form.
