DE-GOV: Beau Biden Passes Away

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Yes, he was going to run for governor.
He and his brother survived the car crash that killed their sister and mother right after their father was first elected to the Senate in 1972.

Man, sort of came out of nowhere. His father announced he was being treated for an undisclosed illness on the 19th.

Per wikipedia, the democrats have 4 options for their plan B.


John Carney, U.S. Representative, former Lieutenant Governor of Delaware and candidate for Governor in 2008[4]
Thomas P. Gordon, County Executive of New Castle County[5]
John Kowalko, State Representative[6]
Peter Schwartzkopf, Speaker of the Delaware House of Representatives[6]

Rating for this race stays at Safe D for now.

There's always a possibility that someone who had previously ruled this out because they knew Biden would run would now change their mind.

But I expect no one will announce anything immediately because that would be bad form.
