Jill Biden offered an intimate glimpse into her husband and family as the former vice president was officially nominated as the party’s nominee in 2020, setting himself up to go with Trump in November.

Joe Biden reiterated a similar sentiment, saying he “does not know what happened” with Graham.

Trump was implicated late last year by the House of Representatives, accused of withholding millions of dollars in security assistance to Ukraine for the sole purpose of forcing the country’s leaders to find filth on the Bidens. He was later released in February by the GOP-controlled Senate.
