Joe Biden marks the 50th anniversary of the death of his wife and daughter

Joe Biden marks the 50th anniversary of the death of his wife and daughter

 The President of the United States, Joe Biden, held a private memorial service on Sunday to mark the 50th anniversary of the death of his first wife, Neilia, and their little daughter.

Biden’s 30-year-old first wife and their 13-month-old daughter, Naomi, were killed in a car crash. Biden was not present in that car. On December 18, 1972, Biden’s wife and daughter were broadsided by a tractor-trailer as they went out to buy a Christmas tree. Biden’s two sons Beau and Hunter were also brutally injured due to that accident. They survived the accident. However, Beau died of brain cancer in 2015. 

After the tragic incident in 1972, Biden married Jill Jacobs in 1977. The couple has a daughter, Ashley. They also joined Biden on Sunday. Hunter also attended the memorial service. 

Biden wanted to leave his political career after that incident. He expressed immense grief at that time. However, he decided to continue his political journey on the advice of other senators.

Biden was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972. He won re-election six times. He was also an adjunct professor at Wilmington, Delaware from 1991 to 2008. 

In 2016, he did not enter the presidential election, saying his family was grieving Beau’s death. Biden campaigned for Hillary Clinton, but she lost the election to Donald Trump. Biden announced his candidacy for the presidential election in 2019. In 2020, Biden chose Kamala Harris as his running mate for the election. Biden won the election and was sworn in as the president of the United States. His presidential term started on 20 January 2021. 

Earlier, he served as the vice president of the United States from 2009 to 2017 under then-President Barack Obama. 

His grandchildren are Navy Joan Roberts, Maisy Biden, Finnegan Biden, Natalie Biden, Robert Biden II, Naomi Biden, and Beau Biden Jr.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will “take control of all” of the Gaza Strip, signaling an unprecedented escalation in the ongoing conflict. In a video posted to Telegram, Netanyahu emphasized that military operations are advancing rapidly, with no intention of backing down. “The fighting is intense, and we are making progress,” he said, framing the offensive as necessary for Israel’s long-term security.
