Labour shadow minister David Lammy has said the tragedies from Joe Biden’s past means he has “empathy in spades” – making the president-elect the “absolute opposite” of Donald Trump.
Lammy, speaking to Yahoo UK’s White Wine Question Time podcast, said: "Of course he cares. He’s a man who’s had massive tragedy in his life."
In 1972, Biden’s first wife, Neilia, and one-year-old daughter, Naomi, died in a car accident. In 2015, Biden’s son, Beau, died of brain cancer. He was 46.
