Joe Biden Emotional As Mitch McConnell, Harry Reid Rename Part Of Bill After Beau Biden | NBC News
they’re trying to set up his run already, damn oligarchs
You are a complete idiot. Why would MITCH MCCONNELL ( you know, a REPUBLICAN) try to set up Joe Biden to run in 4 years? McConnell has done nothing but put Biden down for the past 8 years. However, finally, the man shows an inkling of humanity and names a very important part of the bill after Biden’s son who died from cancer a few years back. Lear to read before you post Simpleson.
@Lisa Czyzniejewski have you noticed the flood of articles shooting him up for a run in 2020?
Jacob Simpson some one is afraid that Joe Biden could defeat Trump in 2020. And they should be, had Biden be in the general election in 2016 he would have wiped the floor with Trump. While not a “revolutionary” choice like Bernie Sanders, Biden actually addresses the economic issues that the working class cares about without Trump’s division and bigotry, and has done so for his entire political career, also he doesn’t have anything close to the amount of baggage (deserved and not) that the Clintons have.
@Jacob Simpson, well perhaps it is your manner, your personal idiom as it were. 😉
I think Hillary should have asked Joe Biden to stay on as VP. She would have won PA and MI for sure with him.
fucker’s a liar, just trying to steal people’s attention. YOUR TIME HAS COME TO AN END FALSE DICTATOR.
Lyle Fox, Do you even know the definition of a dictator?
there is no evidence to suggest he is a dictator, and can you not see that he is watching over a DEMOCRATIC Process, don’t spread hate for an individual doing his job, in no way did he try to steal peoples attention, that is what you are doing and it is shameful.
I hope you learn to use your brain one day otherwise you’re just a waste of space and resources.
Who Biden? Or the thing that is coming into office. You talk about dictator… just wait.
+Lisa Czyzniejewski exactly …
+Allan Garcia the fkng dipshit just elected a dictator
i dont even like biden but this was nice.
I’m so glad that Those Crooked Uselss Politicians are OUT !! Haleluya !!
@Aventedor 2013 I think you are in denial and talk rubbish ! I hope you’re out of the unemployment soon. And, you will be begging for Donald Trump to give you a job .. ha !
Linda Fukuyu Ok you know what it’s not worth talking to you if you can’t look at the facts.
Linda Fukuyu where do you get your news from?
Linda Fukuyu You liveyour live uninformed and believe crackpots like Alex Jones.
I know that you’re an embarrassing troll, but shut your mouth to things that you don’t understand. One of them being able to judge great character in people.
Linda…please get educated prior to your statements.
AINT IT STRANGE SOROS COLOUR REVOLUTIONS IN UKRAINE AND NOW BIDENS SON RUNS BIGGEST ENERGY COMPANY IN UKRAINE
sheraton gallacher Americans don’t care about Ukraine, only Russians.
Everyone loves Joe, even the goat talking in the beginning
I read that first as “greatest of all time” and got all uppity. Hilarious.
If only people loved Joe as much as he loves 12 and 6 yr old girls.
A turtle with no spine
@MAGA OFFENSIVE And I’m sure no one likes conspiracy theorists
Anita Breslin 😂😂😂😂😂 Salvage.
If only McConnell had gotten cancer instead. What a better country this would be.
That is a terrible thing to say.
The tolerant left huh
Well he’s going to jail so from what I have heard, it’s worse
No.
Try to just respect dignity of the day.
We don’t have better things to do in congress?
I guess it’s better than the usual gridlock.
Since when is an act of compassion and humanity a waste of time? The problem is that this doesn’t happen enough. This type of thing breaks down political walls and makes people more open to cooperate. That’s something seriously lacking in our leaders today.
It’s a half day. Plus all these people are watching beau struggle and joe lose himself in loss. I think half day is fair.
This bill contains many removals of personal choice where in your doctor can choose things for you without your consent in some cases. They buried this under $1.8 billion in cancer money because few will say no to that. And they’re pushing it through at the end of a presidential term because that’s always the easiest time to pass the really nasty stuff. I hope Trump plays his smoke and mirrors game on McConnell so bad that McConnell doesn’t know which way is up.
What the hell is a “death panel?”
Just a casual McCain at 1:00 😀
James Merry Actually at 0:45
JOE Biden is the only good thing about obamas 8 year term
Aaron Perez amen to that!
Aaron Perez not so sure, did you see that Vid of Obama singing call me maybe? that’s pretty funny.
The status of the economy means nothing? Pulling troops out of the bullshit in the middle east? 20 million more Americans have health insurance? Nah? Ignorant or blind partisan?
no, he did all that while being black so it didn’t count 😉
Pablo Horteg does adding 9-10 trillion in debt also mean nothing?
That moment when you realized it should have been Biden/sanders 2016
That would’ve averted disaster
Lol
Didn’t age well
@Mynameisobnoxioslylong &ucan’tdonothinabtthematter Aged pretty well considering the partnership that seems to be blooming between Biden and Sanders.
lol
old Joe the child groper. sick, sick man.
That is a wonderful tribute …
talks about cancer, yet votes to get rid of Obamacare…. moron
Ben Clausen Where is your plan?
Aventedor 2013 in his ass
ZENTOPIA But they “want” to make a better plan, wanting and having are two different things.
ACA hardly covers anything that has to do with Cancer.
this was passed under the 21century cures act, not Obama/aca. God forbid Ocare gets repealed, the cancer funding from this video/bill will remain.
Mitch McConell actually does something good who knew?
Angel the fellow7 pretty much everyone that’s why he’s majority leader
Ronald Reagan
No he is majority leader because he is the biggest POS snake in the grass i the party (if you dont include trump of course)
+Ronald Reagan Mitch McCOnnell may be the biggest weasel to ever grace US politics
@Ronald Reagan he needs to GTFO Washington DC
Poor man. No matter how you felt about him, it’s heartbreaking when a parent loses their child.
colleen lost two children and his wife. He redefines tragedy
colleen agree
Well said
Colleen You said it so sweetly. Biden would make an interesting president. God go with you.
@Juliaflo Amen
IM TIRED OF WHITE OLD RICH MEN IN THE SENATE
They were voted in by their constituents to represent them
John McCain showed up late
Mitch McConnell have enriched himself as a Congressman, but Joe didn’t.
Cancer needs to be addressed universally until it’s defeated. If we can afford 90 billion dollars in slush for the military we can spend billions towards curing cancer.
after all the blocking these Republicans did.
It’s a rare day when turtles exert human emotions.
spencer stfu. The man served his country his entire life. Wtf did you do for yours? I get it that u don’t like him but u still have to show some fkn respect to ur elder, do u even know how hard it is to lose a child!? And also, wouldn’t you be fkn emotional if ur mom died right now!? I am ashamed of this world for having people like you in it!!
@Mr. Brawl Stars YES!
@Mr. Brawl Stars He has not served his country. He has served large corporations and his own personal wealth. He has done absolutely nothing for his home state except make it poorer while he keeps getting richer.
Adam that sounds like the 45th president of the United States to me!
@Mr. Brawl Stars you realise spencer is on about McConnell as he is known as a turtle. Dont worry I hate every bit of McConnell and Trump
PEDOPHILE JO!
There are a great many things upon which I disagree with Mr Vice President Biden. That statement is as true as it is irrelevant. God bless him for his service to our nation. Even if from time to time I did not agree with him
This is a very classy statement and I wish that both Republicans and Democrats can follow along with this anytime a transition of power occurs.
I’d like to thank you for those words.
Dumbest VP in U.S. history.
Lyndon Johnson was the dumbest VP in U.S. history.
Really? What about Dan Quayle? Is it spelled potato or thbdhcnhujk?
What did we do to deserve Joe Biden?
Voting for Obama.
Something wrong obviously.
As a hardcore right-wing libertarian Republican Paulbot, I don’t think there’s anyone I’d enjoy hanging out with more than Fmr. Vice President Joe Biden.
I said the same bro.
He seems like a sweetheart
Wrinkly old satan worshipping paedophile
What a classy guy.
2:04 Gimme the goddam folder son.
Why can’t this kind of collegiality be preserved. Think how the Senate could be. Tragic.
Biden should have ran. What would have happened if Beau Biden never died?
Well Trump knew and knows Joe is legit. He’s the only democrat that he’s afraid of. He probably wouldve won
I can’t believe him running is your thought regarding him dying. Like serious. Even if he considered he has to be ready for enormity. You don’t get over losing a child.
John McCain wanders by at 0:46.
John, quit photobombing.
That’s what we need, statesmen who rise above party politics and place the nation above all.
Renaming a bill isn’t putting the nation above party politics. It’s cheap propaganda to make them seem honorable, don’t fall for it
To bad it’s not necessarily what we deserve.
It’s a gesture. Get a grip. Trying to become a senator or president next year.
Thank God for these moments of cooperation. This is when we are Americans above all. One nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
❤️ Biden
Hopefully in late 2020, we will all get to hear these words: ‘President Elect Joseph Biden.’
We most likely won’t based on the betting odds and historical precedent
OH! THE TEARS ARE STARTING SENATOR BIDEN IS A MAN FULL OF LOVE FOR EVERYONE AND THINKS OF OTHERS AND HOW HE CAN BE OF HELP. GOD BLESS SENATOR BIDEN.
I personally think that (yes Mr. Biden raises his voice at times but definitely pretty chill for a politician) is a politician version of Mr. Rogers.
Did Mitch McConnell just act like a decent human being for once?
This buffoon crying like a woman shows why Beau is better off dead.
#pervyJoe….
However, it was overly generous to name this after Biden’s son.
What do you mean by “He was also a Democrat? That’s one of the problem with Democracy!
“He was a Democrat, but he was ALSO available to anyone at anytime”. Listen to the clip before commenting.
Biden loves his pizza 🍕
Look at Mitch being a good man. Come on Mitch we need you to be this man more often
Jonathan schaefer ..,You got that right.
Good? Women are always fooled by this guy. Trump is an angel compared with this guy.
Mitch! You gotta do something about Trump man! Please!
Trump was n
Trump won
The only noble thing Mitch McConnell has ever done.
This is the bipartisanship that is missing and should be sought by both sides of the aisle
All of them are traitors . They all make me sick. MAGA.
me262jet haha they’re traitors ok. Your boy Donald’s got The Russia investigation hot on his tail. He can discredit all he wants, manaforts going away and Cohen is starting to talk. Tick tock
Russia Russia Russia Trump Administration. Spot the Difference in the connotations.
Biden just might be our best bet for 2020
This is the swamp creatures praising the swamp creatures.
Creepy joe
This just makes me cry. Why can’t we just be good to one another all the time?
0:47 GANGSTA
God bless Joe… We need him in 2020…and had his son Beau not passed away…. We’d have Joe as Commander-in cheif
How bitter sweet it would be just him and hunter and his daughter with Jill??
Anne Liesveld ..That would be awesome!
Biden changed history.
As McCain walks by. 😢
Pretty creepy to see McCain walk past the shot at 0:45 when McConnell is talking about the cancer that Beau had that later killed McCain.
awakeningspirit20
Senator McCain at that point could have already had the very beginning of his glioblastoma. Its rather ominous in hindsight.
Its an ugly, ugly disease.
@Stinky Piece of Cheese Hopefully, we can eradicate it off the face of this Earth.
I’m pretty sure it wasn’t *Beau Biden’s* cancer that a few years later would claim John McCain’s life, but rather, McCain’s *own* cancer that would be culpable for the deed.
(And yeah, I know, I know: shame on me for nit-picking over a matter so trivial as syntax, in particular such an incredibly inconsequential solecism as yours, in so profoundly heartbreaking and momentous a context as that of a beautiful and uncommonly decent man’s untimely funeral. I’ll own that, I suppose. But…
You gotta admit: the fact that I even *thought* to tender such an absurdly pedantic correction, especially in connection with *just* this sort of singularly tragic affair, is pretty damned funny. 😉
Ok. Ur right. Both dead of a disease that killed both pretty young. Even John was just 78 I think??
0:48 a wild McCain
Look, When it comes to it. These guys disagree, but they are friends (and everyone hates Ted). The Sen. is not like congress. Its seems much more gentlemanlly, cordial, And they work together more. Thats why there is no Freedom Caucus . Thank god.
The best thing that could happen is the house swing back dem and the Senate stay Rep. Then they might start working together and compromise – and the politics head ack to the centre after the last 10 years that started with things like the tea party.
When they’re respectful
And than Trump is president and their true personalities appear.
Love Mitch
Never seen Mitch say something caring. Maybe it’s a clone?
Yeah didn’t think McConnell had it in him to act human for once.
McCain did walk by, how ironic , old news being publicized for what? Just coverage to stay in news,? How low have they come.
I’m a Republican and I would be honored to vote for Biden
@Justin Edwards the results in 2016 were within the margin of error of the polls. Biden will easily win
@Adam whatever dude. I wouldn’t be so sure on that but whatever makes you feel better lefty
It’s okay, Justin, it was a fun experiment while it lasted. Democrats and Republicans will work together under President Biden and get us out of this Trump Recession.
@Siontix lol are you really this stupid dude. im sorry but we are not in a recession plus trump didn’t cause the economy to slow down but we all know you liberals hate facts
@Devin McIntosh: Those Stimulus Payments Started in the Congress which is Mostly Democrats, Trump Agreed because his stocks are suffering! He does not Care that people are suffering too!
0:45 Crazy to think that, unbeknownst to everyone, something lethal was growing in McCain’s brain #RIP
Yea look ar him at ten years on Clinton or bush and i think omg that could be Clinton or bush jr
That’s cool no matter who you support for president
F U Mitch McConnell. You are the cancer in this country.
Why he needs to be PRESIDENT because he wants to end cancer. IT’S REAL because it’s not natural to lose a child. R.I.P. true patriotic family. WOW. GET TRUMP or he will damage everything OBAMA & BIDEN DID. Also, there’s no way I would vote for BILL CLINTON BACK IN THE OFFICE so yes, morality, choice, fidelity & love/grief matter to people. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one grossed out.
Bipartisanship at its finest.
I hope and pray Joe Biden will be the next President of the United States.

@henryptung Please look at the date on when I wrote that comment, at the time the RealClearPolitics average for the betting odds had Trump as the clear favorite
@henryptung https://www.realclearpolitics.com/elections/betting_odds/2020_president/ Here’s the source I was using. As you can see, Trump did have the lead in the betting odds until June second. I wrote the comment in at the end of May
@Warren Rhinerson During the past month, many voters of Trump during 2016 has already expressed their regrets on why they voted for him, i guess he’s not really winning.
I am TRULY SORRY for JOSEPH R BIDEN’S LOSS of his SON, Beau. MAY he REST in PEACE. NO PARENT should BURY THEIR CHILD or EVER HAVE TO. I WISH JOE BIDEN the BEST, and i have SAID SOME VERY TERRIBLE THINGS ABOUT HIM….SOME MIGHT be TRUE…..only HE REALLY KNOWS, HOWEVER…i will NEVER VOTE for the MAN as POTUS….EVER. VJVMD
Does Kentucky really have the most awesome senators?! Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul are on fire!!
WERE at least for the first one.
Hate him or Love him in the primaries, Biden’s life was though and you should respect him for standing up against it
Tough
One example of why The United States of America is the best country in the world.
Still, Joe Biden is reeling the loss of his son.
EU für JOE..
who’s cutting onions here!
A very touching moment.
biden and reid 2 of the most partisan politicians this country has ever known
Biden wasnt partisan
@Destroyer007 lol if you truly believe that then you don’t have much of a brain
@Justin Edwards yeah you don’t have an inch of brain if you actually think biden is one of the most partisan politicians.
Let all politicians familes die of cancers god bless
Rest in peace Boe, I’m so proud of Boe Biden’s sacrifice ! Thanks Biden Family for your service to our great plannet! #Joe2020 #MissBoe
What? Feels like a parallel universe.
Why can’t McConnell be more like this?
You can see when the clerk read Beau’s name, Joe had to wipe a tear away… been nearly 4 years and its still emotional
McConnell has had no pain in his life. He stands for big pharma, big guns.
