Biden noted his lifelong friendship with McCain, despite the contrast between Biden and McCain’s political views.
“As a young man, he’d come up to my house; he’d come up to Wilmington,” Biden said. “Out of this grew a great friendship that transcended whatever political differences we had.”
Biden then delved into why their friendship managed to transcend political differences.
“Above all, we understood the same thing: All politics is personal,” Biden said. “It’s all about trust. I trusted John with my life, and I would, and I think he would trust me with his.”
