This isn't the first time Joe Biden has shown emotion in public
Joe Biden has previously been unable to hold back tears when appearing in public. In August this year appeared at the Democratic Party convention in Chicago. The President of the United States appeared on stage just after his daughter, Ashley, performed. However, he was unable to speak for a long time.

As CNN reported, the ovation lasted for four minutes. At some point apparently moved, he said “I love you.”
