White House: VP Joe Biden’s son has mild stroke

NEWARK, Del. (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden’s oldest son had a mild stroke Tuesday but is expected to recover, the White House said.

Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, 41, was admitted to Christiana Hospital this morning.

“He is in good spirits and talking with his family at the hospital,” Dr. Timothy Gardner said in a statement issued through the White House later in the day. “He is fully alert, in stable condition and has full motor and speech skills.”
