President Barack Obama paid warm tribute to Beau Biden, saying he took after his father.
“He studied the law, like his dad, even choosing the same law school. He chased a life of public service, like his dad, serving in Iraq and as Delaware’s Attorney General,” Obama said in a statement.”Like his dad, Beau was a good, big-hearted, devoutly Catholic and deeply faithful man, who made a difference in the lives of all he touched, and he lives on in their hearts.” Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also expressed grief on the news.
