Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden – the eldest son of American Vice President Joe Biden – made news back in January when he backed down from a possible Senate bid. It was expected that he would follow in his father’s footsteps and ascend the political ladder, but Beau Biden chose his work as Attorney General over life within the Senate. The Associated Press reports that there may have been an event that will cost the Biden family some emergency cash and could change that timetable. Beau Biden was rushed to a Delaware hospital with an undisclosed illness or injury of some sort.

There has been no news as to why Beau Biden, age 41, is in the hospital although it is reported that he is awake and alert. It is known that a Delaware state trooper was on guard at the entrance to the hospital. Security has been arranged to keep out paparazzi, but because so little info is known regarding the nature of Beau Biden’s illness or injury, such scenarios are still conjecture.
From U.S. Justice Department to Delaware AG
Beau Biden moved, in 2007, from the US Justice Department to Delaware Attorney General. Before his father Joe Biden became vice president, Beau considered a Senate run. He didn’t take it because he was working with the very high-profile criminal case of Dr. Earl Bradley, who was a pediatrician accused of sexually assaulting as much as 100 of his patients. It was a surprise that Biden decided not to run. That was until Beau Biden’s January announcement. Now the seat Biden held for 36 years can be in jeopardy.
