DNC to honor Beau Biden
A resolution honoring the vice president's son comes as his father weighs a presidential run.

Joe Biden won't be there, but the Democratic National Committee at its summer meeting will consider a resolution Thursday honoring his son, Beau Biden, who died at the end of May.

The younger Biden was a two-term attorney general of Delaware and had been planning to run for governor next year. He was considered a rising Democratic star. He's also said to have been one of the main people pushing the vice president to run for president next year.

The resolution is being submitted by DNC chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), along with vice chairs Donna Brazile and Raymond Buckley, DNC treasurer Andy Tobias, at-large member Lottie Shackleford and DNC secretary Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, the mayor of Baltimore.

The resolution recounts the younger Biden's accomplishments over his life and career, from his legal experience to his time in the National Guard to his work as attorney general.

The resolution quotes the statement from Biden released upon Beau Biden's death calling him "the finest man any of us have ever known."

"Therefore be it resolved," the resolution concludes, "that the Democratic National Committee honor Beau Biden for his dedication to his state and the Democratic Party and offer its condolences to his family."

This is the first DNC meeting since Beau Biden died.
