Joe Biden is the 46th and current President of the United States, having assumed office on January 20, 2021. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as the 47th Vice President of the United States under Barack Obama from 2009 to 2017 and represented Delaware in the United States Senate for 36 years. His presidency has focused on addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, economic recovery, and reasserting American leadership on the global stage.

Early life and education

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and later moved with his family to New Castle County, Delaware. He attended the University of Delaware, where he graduated with a degree in history and political science in 1965. Biden then earned his Juris Doctor from the Syracuse University College of Law in 1968, after which he was admitted to the Delaware Bar and began practicing law in Wilmington, Delaware.

Early political career

Biden's political career began with his election to the New Castle County Council in 1970. In 1972, at age 29, he defeated incumbent J. Caleb Boggs to become one of the youngest individuals ever elected to the United States Senate. Shortly after his election, his first wife, Neilia Hunter, and infant daughter were killed in a car accident in Hockessin, Delaware; his sons Beau Biden and Hunter Biden were seriously injured but survived. He was sworn into the Senate at their hospital bedsides.

Vice presidency (2009–2017)

As Vice President under President Barack Obama, Biden played a significant role in shaping both domestic and foreign policy. He was a key adviser during the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Affordable Care Act. In foreign affairs, Obama tasked him with overseeing the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and managing the administration's policy toward Ukraine following the Revolution of Dignity. His tenure was also marked by his advocacy for the Cancer Moonshot initiative following the death of his son Beau from brain cancer.

2020 presidential campaign and election

Biden announced his candidacy for president in April 2019, positioning himself as a stabilizing force following the presidency of Donald Trump. He secured the Democratic nomination after a strong performance on Super Tuesday and selected Kamala Harris, a senator from California, as his running mate. The general election, conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, featured debates moderated by organizations like Fox News and CNN. Biden defeated incumbent Donald Trump, winning key swing states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and received a record 81 million votes.

Presidency (2021–present)

Biden's presidency began with a focus on the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the rapid passage of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. His administration has pursued a broad legislative agenda, including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act. In foreign policy, he has emphasized strengthening alliances like NATO, responded to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with significant support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and oversaw the withdrawal from Afghanistan. His tenure has also seen the appointment of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Political positions and public image

Throughout his career, Biden has been characterized as a pragmatic centrist within the Democratic Party. His political evolution includes early work on the 1994 Crime Bill and chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He is generally seen as a figure of Washington establishment experience, an image bolstered by his long personal relationships with figures like John McCain and Mitch McConnell. His public persona is often defined by his emphasis on middle-class economic concerns, his advocacy for unions, and his frequent references to his Scranton upbringing.
