A Devastating Loss

On December 18, 1972, Biden’s wife, Neilia, and his children were involved in a severe car accident. Neilia and Biden’s daughter, Naomi, died. His sons, Beau and Hunter, sustained injuries. 

The tragedy plagued Biden’s early Senate career, and he even had to be motivated against resigning by the then-Senate Majority Leader. However, three years later, Biden met teacher Jill Jacobs, and the pair married in 1977. (Photo: Bettmann, Pixabay)
