First lady Jill Biden said she and the president are "heartbroken" over Colin Powell's death. The former secretary of state and longtime colleague of the president died Monday morning due to complications from COVID-19 at the age of 84.
Powell was fully vaccinated, but had suffered from multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that affects white blood cells and can severely compromise the immune system.
The first lady told "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King the Bidens were aware Powell was ill, and knew he was in the hospital for several days. But that didn't ease their reaction to his passing.
