Presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has offered his condolences to President Donald Trump after his younger brother, Robert Trump, died on Saturday night. The former vice president said he understood the "tremendous pain of losing a loved one" in a tweet directed towards Mr Trump.
Robert died at the age of 71 while in a New York hospital. He had been reportedly hospitalised in the intensive care unit for several days in June, but details of his illness have not been released. The president confirmed his brother's death in a statement released by the White House on Saturday night.
This comes as the Democratic-led House has called for multiple officials with the United States Postal Service (USPS) to come to an emergency hearing on 24 August. The hearing would address reports of mail delays and how it could impact the upcoming election.
