Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
At Boise fundraiser, Biden talks about Trump, the middle class and his Idaho connections
BOISE — Joe Biden told more than 100 donors at a Boise fundraiser that he’s proud of his Idaho connections.
Speaking Tuesday at the home of Esther and Skip Oppenheimer, the Democratic presidential front-runner talked about how Frank Church, the late Democratic U.S. senator from Idaho, helped get him elected to the Senate in 1972.
The Churches also encouraged him to stay in office after the death of his first wife, Neilia, and his daughter, Naomi, just weeks after that election.
“I was just a kid when I got elected,” Biden, then 29 and now 76, told the donors at a reception in the Oppenheimers’ backyard, where tables were set up but most people stood in the 100-degree afternoon heat. The Church family’s support helped him stay in politics and make a difference on a national level, he said.
