Contributed by: Bryan
  • 1. Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., the 46th President of the United States, was born on November 20, 1942, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He grew up in a working-class family and experienced the challenges of economic hardship during his childhood, which shaped his empathetic approach to governance. Biden graduated from the University of Delaware and earned his law degree from Syracuse University. His political career began when he was elected to the New Castle County Council in 1970, and he swiftly transitioned to national politics by winning a seat in the U.S. Senate at the young age of 29, making him one of the youngest U.S. senators in history. Over his 36 years in the Senate, Biden established himself as a prominent figure in American politics, focusing on foreign relations, judicial matters, and domestic policy, and he served as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In 2008, he was elected as Vice President under President Barack Obama, during which he played a crucial role in various initiatives including the Affordable Care Act and economic recovery efforts following the financial crisis. After a brief hiatus from national politics, Biden announced his candidacy for the presidency in 2020 and campaigned on a promise to restore dignity and unity to the nation in the wake of deep political divisions. His victory over incumbent President Donald Trump was celebrated by supporters who valued his experience and commitment to traditional democratic values. As President, Biden has focused on addressing issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, racial equity, and economic recovery, aiming to restore America’s standing on the global stage and rebuild relationships with allies. His administration has emphasized bipartisanship, though it has faced challenges in a polarized political environment. Throughout his lifetime in public service, Biden has been known for his resilience and empathy, often drawing on personal tragedies, including the loss of his first wife and two of his children, to resonate with the American people.
