To the Editor:As Joe Biden exits American political life, I’m filled with sadness and some regret.
For my entire life, he’s been such a permanent fixture that it will be strange not to see images of him on the Senate floor or on the White House lawn.
That megawatt smile and the constant messages of optimism, reassurance and decency that he conveyed — what will we do without them?
Joe Biden has always been an extension of my father in a way — someone who loves people, feeds off their energy, and loves a good story and a well-played baseball game.
I will miss Joe Biden as our president, and I’m thankful that he had the wisdom and courage to step aside for another presidential nominee.
