Joe Biden offers condolences as coronavirus death toll hits 100,000
By Associated Press -May 28, 2020 9:50 AM
'To all of you hurting so badly, I'm so sorry for your loss. This nation grieves with you.'
Joe Biden released a video Wednesday evening marking the grim U.S. milestone of 100,000 Americans killed by the coronavirus, saying somberly, "To all of you hurting so badly, I'm so sorry for your loss" and "This nation grieves with you."
In the video, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee directly addresses those who have lost relatives and friends. Evoking the personal tragedies he's faced in his own life, Biden said, "I think I know what you're feeling."
"You feel like you're being sucked into a black hole in the middle of your chest," said Biden, who lost his first wife and young daughter in a 1972 car crash and an adult son to cancer in 2015. "It's suffocating."
