WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 4 (UPI) -- U.S. Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden has canceled campaign events this weekend due to what his campaign called a serious illness in the family.
Biden had been scheduled to appear at campaign events Saturday night in Washington and Sunday in Virginia, Fox News Channel reported Saturday. However, Biden spokesman David Wade issued a statement saying the campaign had canceled Biden's schedule for both days because of "a serious illness" in the family of the Delaware senator's wife, Jill Biden.
