Biden makes Ireland visit a family affair--except for Jill.......
This is last part of a much larger article. The Irish LOVED our President but I do think they would swooned over Jill had she gone along.
I do not know much at all about Beau Biden--but reading the last 2 sentences--I am wondering--Did Joe Biden have political aspirations for Beau??--or did Beau himself have political aspirations??

Biden makes Ireland visit a family affair
More than anything, Biden’s trip this week had the feeling of a family spring break. He brought along his sister Valerie and son Hunter, with whom he toured ancestral sites on Wednesday and Friday. His wife, Dr. Jill Biden, remained in Washington to attend to her college teaching job.

“I’m proud of you,” Biden told his son during a meeting with family members in Dundalk, asking him to stand for a round of applause.
His other son was on his mind as well. Throughout the sometimes-rainy trip, Biden kept his head dry with a baseball cap from the Beau Biden Foundation.
When he visited the Knock Shrine, he reconnected with the priest who gave last rites to Biden’s dying son 2015. He is now the chaplain at the site.
The moment brought Biden to tears, the priest later told the Irish Times.
“It was incredible to see him,” Biden said later.
Speaking to parliament, he said it was Beau, who died in 2015, who should be standing where he was.
“He should be the one standing here giving this speech to you,” Biden said.
