n0> he had an unusually high awareness of God
Ok, maybe, I did not follow him closely when he was a Senator except when he got into news …
Still, if you listen to another religious almost-VP, Joe Lieberman, yes, he sometimes uses his morality for somewhat political purposes, like defending Bill Clinton, he is generally decent in his speeches. I can’t see him insisting that previous President left him no vaccines. Joe L was positive on Biden, btw. I would say, he has religious core that gets overpowered by political yetzer and probably habit of so many years. Can hope that in critical moments, he might revert to the core values. See again the story with the journalist in Iraq – he accepted the argument.
