Former Vice President Joe Biden returned to the nation’s capital on Monday to pay his last respects to the late civil rights leader and icon John Lewis.
The body of the longtime congressman from Georgia lay in state in the Rotunda of the U. S. Capitol, a spot reserved for presidents, lawmakers, and other dignitaries.
Biden, who served nearly four decades in Congress as a senator from Delaware before being elected vice president, arrived at the Capitol with his wife Jill Biden. The two were joined by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her daughter Christine as they bid farewell to Lewis.
