Next up on the news, President Joe Biden opened up about a difficult time in his life during an interview with Howard Stern. He revealed that after losing his wife and daughter in a tragic car accident in 1972, he briefly considered taking his own life. It was a heartbreaking moment for the President to recount, but he wanted to be open and honest about his struggles with grief.
During the interview, Biden shared that he had reached a point where he thought he would never feel happy again. He said, "You don't have to be crazy to commit suicide, if you've been to the top of the mountain and you think you'll never be there again." He explained that for a brief moment, he considered jumping off the Delaware memorial bridge, but the thought of leaving his two children behind stopped him.
Biden also spoke about his wife Neilia and their one-year-old daughter Naomi, who were killed in the car accident. He shared a photo of them together and talked about how much he loved them. He also mentioned how he used to take out a bottle of scotch after their death, but could never bring himself to drink it. "I don't drink, that's not a virtue. I just never drank," he said, adding that he couldn't bring himself to get drunk even though there was always alcohol in the house.
The interview with Stern was a surprise appearance for the President, and it was not announced until it went live on air. This came after criticism of Biden for avoiding traditional media outlets as the 2024 election approaches. In the interview, he also said he would be open to debating his Republican rival Donald Trump, saying, "I am, somewhere, I don't know when, but I am happy to debate him."
The President's openness about his struggles with grief and alcohol has shed light on the importance of mental health and seeking help during difficult times. It is a reminder that even the most successful and powerful people have their own personal battles. This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as they become available.
