He said: "Selfishly, I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we have left. He is a genuine hero. Country over self. It sounds corny in our cynical political environment, but he nor I are cynical.
"The goal remains the same: defeat Trump and continue the work that Joe has done."
Speaking to ABC News, Frank said his brother's decision "boils down" to his "overall health and vitality" but also "beating this genuine threat to our nation in the form of Donald Trump".

However, a family source was quick to dispute these claims, telling CBS: "Frank Biden suffers from alcoholism and hasn’t spoken to his brother in weeks. What he said ... Is completely untrue."
The president, who is currently suffering from Covid, announced on Sunday that he would drop out of his re-election campaign, instead endorsing current Vice President Kamala Harris.
He wrote in a letter: "While it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term."
Other members of his family have been quick to rally around him, with his eldest granddaughter Naomi writing a heartfelt message on social media platform X.
She wrote: "I’m nothing but proud today of my Pop, our President, Joe Biden, who has served our country with every bit of his soul and with unmatched distinction.
