Fox News
President Biden repeated his previous false claim that his son, Beau, died while serving in Iraq, as well as incorrectly said he ran for president while serving as vice president.
"I had run when I was vice president, and then Barack and I spent eight years together, and then the new administration came in, and, in the meantime, things changed in our life and our family. I lost my son – we lost our son in Iraq. Anyway – I hadn't planned on running," he added. Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News. Follow him on Twitter at @brandon_cg.
In contrast to his claims, Beau tragically passed away from glioblastoma in May 2015 at Walter Reed military hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. Beau served a tour in Iraq from 2008 to 2009.
