Joe Biden spent a hot August day at his lakefront Delaware home watching hatred on display in Charlottesville, Virginia, where, days earlier, torch-wielding white supremacists had marched through town. A counter-protester advocating racial equality was killed when a white supremacist drove his car into a crowd. When President Donald Trump blamed the violence on "both sides," the former vice president says he was stunned. He turned to his closest advisers — his family — to discuss what to do next. Spread out across the country, the Bidens quickly convened through a series of group text messages.
