Joe Biden breaks down in tears: 'Beau should be the one running'

An emotional Joe Biden broke down in tears in an interview on Wednesday when asked about how his late son guides him on the campaign trail.

"Beau should be the one running for president, not me," Biden said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Beau was the attorney general of Delaware when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He died in 2015 at the age of 46. Joe Biden said his son pushed him to stay politically engaged during his cancer fight.

"He was worried I would walk away" from public service, Biden said on Wednesday morning. "He is part of me, and so is my surviving son Hunter and (daughter) Ashley."

Was not because he thought he could hang some misconduct on Joe and Hunter. He thought by targeting Joe's last surviving son,he could break Joe's ability to fight.
He underestimated Joe.
