Biden Let that Story get play this whole time - but it wasn't true?

"It was a heart-rending story with an emotional impact capable of fundamentally shifting the race for the nation’s highest office.
And the man at the center of it says it never happened.
Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Beau, tragically died of brain cancer at age 46 on May 30, 2015.
Stories began to circulate that Beau’s dying wish was for his father to run for president, injecting a powerful emotional narrative into the growing cries for him to join the 2016 presidential race. Many sought an alternative to Hillary Clinton, who’s candidacy was beginning to look damaged from the controversy over her use of a personal email server while serving as secretary of State.
Yet, on 60 Minutes Sunday night, Biden said the stories of Beau’s dying request were the stuff of Hollywood fantasy.
“Beau all along thought that I should run and I could win,” Biden said, “but there was not — what is sort of made out as this Hollywood-esque thing — that at the last minute Beau grabbed my hand and said, ‘Dad you’ve got to run,’ like, ‘Win one for the Gipper.’ Wasn’t anything like that.”
Biden explained that he simply didn’t run because he didn’t think he could win." USATODAY
