Towards the end of the piece:
“Aides don’t expect a wave of White House departures in the coming months. Biden can be abrupt with staff, but he engenders a certain loyalty that tends to keep them in his orbit.
One White House official who is planning to stay until the end describes how Biden tried to console him when his brother died of cancer this year.
As the official was about to join a meeting with the president, an aide told him to wait in the private dining room off the Oval Office. Biden entered the room and gave the official a hug. He spoke about the love between brothers and how his son Hunter felt when his brother, Beau, died of cancer in 2015.
Biden also asked about the official’s other brother, who is ill with the same type of brain cancer that killed Beau Biden.
“I’m not exaggerating when I tell you the tears were falling from his face to the floor,” the official said. “That’s the guy he is. He feels deeply. I have a deep personal affection for him.”
