Over the weekend, Donald Trump’s brother Robert Trump passed away. Among those who offered their condolences to the Trump family’s loss is presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
Following the news of Robert Trump’s passing on Saturday, Biden took to Twitter to offer his condolences to the president. Biden’s running mate, Senator Kamala Harris also offered her condolences on Twitter as well.
“Mr. President, Jill and I are sad to learn of your younger brother Robert’s passing. I know the tremendous pain of losing a loved one --- and I know how important family is in moments like these. I hope you know our prayers are with you all,” tweeted Biden.
“Doug and I join the Biden family in sending our deepest condolences and prayers to the entire Trump family during this difficult time. Losing a loved one is never easy but know that we are thinking of you,” tweeted Harris.
Robert Trump was an executive in the Trump Organization and the youngest of the Trump siblings. He passed away after his hospitalization in New York last week, with Trump visiting him on Friday. He was 71 years old. The White House issued a statement informing the public of the loss, with Trump describing him as his “best friend.”
Robert was also caught up in controversy over the recent months after attempting to block publication of his niece Mary Trump’s tell-all book but was unsuccessful. Donald once described him to be the quieter brother between the two of them.
Meanwhile, the former vice president showed off his 1967 Corvette in his new campaign video talking about the future of the automobile industry being in electric vehicles. Biden shared the video on social media over the weekend. “I’m trying to get my miles in before the Secret Service stops me,” wrote the presumptive Democratic nominee.
In the video, Biden also recalls memories of driving his car and that he is reminded of his father and his late son Beau Biden. The car was a gift to him by his father and his sons had the engine rebuilt in recent years. “This is an iconic industry. How can American-made vehicles no longer be out there? I believe we can own the 21st century market again by moving to electric vehicles,” said Biden in the video.
