Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden began Election Day by going to church in Wilmington, Del. with his family in the early hours of the day.

According to pool reports, Biden first entered St. Joseph on the Brandywine at 7:10 a.m. EST and left about 20 minutes later, when he entered to the cemetery across the street to visit the graves of his son, as well as his first wife and daughter.

Thirty-year-old Neila Hunter Biden and their daughter, 13-month-old Naomi were tragically killed in a car accident in 1972. Beau Biden passed away in 2015 at age 46 after a battle with glioblastoma, a deadly form of brain cancer.

Joe Biden returned to Wilmington to watch the election results come in. He had spent the day in Pennsylvania, interacting with voters in his hometown of Scranton, as well as in Philadelphia.
