A moment between Joe Biden comforting a teenager has gone viral thanks to a tweet from a former White House videographer.
I'm one of those who frets that the election will be much closer than the polls indicate. That in a world where non-voters are never targeted by Dems, huge turnout could contain multitudes. So I'm dropping some old footage of Joe Biden here: pic.twitter.com/74UROClgbh

When Joe Biden visited with the victims’ families from the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School two years ago, a man with special needs who lost his father simply wanted a hug during a devastating time.
A video of Corey Hixon bounding up to Biden and wrapping him in a tight embrace while the former vice president gives him a kiss on the forehead and consoles him went viral on Wednesday after it was tweeted by former White House videographer Arun Chaudhary in support of Biden’s presidential candidacy.
Today, CNN interviewed Hixon and his mom. Watch above.
Sadly, Corey Hixon and @debbi_hixon are friends of mine. We are not supposed to know each other but Jaime was murdered with Chris Hixon. Together, our families have both been the beneficiaries of the kindness and decency of @JoeBiden. This is who Joe Biden is. https://t.co/BThU2kTs5j
