In a touching show of bipartisanship in the face of tragedy, candidates from across the political spectrum yesterday took a moment to mourn the death of Braden Joplin, a volunteer for the Ben Carson campaign who passed away yesterday following a car accident in Iowa while on the campaign trail. Carson canceled his campaign events on Wednesday.
Prayers goes out to Braden's family and @RealBenCarson Campaign. Tragedies like today are heartbreaking. God bless all of you!
