It seems like the detractors are being pretty harsh, though. Losing a loved one is a challenge many of us can't relate to. And it's only natural that family members would come together after such a difficult time. It might be unconventional, but if the two of them are helping each other move on with their lives, who are we to judge?
Refinery29 has reached out to a rep for Joe Biden and will update this story when we obtain a response.
