Despite the tragedy in his personal life and repeated failures in the presidential candidacy, he did not give up. He has returned to the center of politics on his own merits. That is why Joe Biden is called a fighting leader. With the victory in this year’s US election, the oldest president of the United States is the two-time vice president of the Obama administration.
This journey of politics was not an easy one for Joe Biden, known as a liberal. Today’s Joseph Robinet Biden overcame many obstacles along the way.
He entered the legal profession as a lawyer in the sixties. He got involved in politics with the election of the city council the following year. In 1982, at the age of 30, Joe became the state senator of Delaware in the election of the Democrats.
He then represented the state in the Senate for three long decades. To everyone’s surprise, Barack Obama announced Biden as his running mate in 2008.
He was the two-time vice president of the Obama administration. Biden is clean on politics and wise on foreign relations. He was a longtime member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. However, there are allegations that he was instrumental in destabilizing Tunisia, Libya and Egypt in the so-called Arab Spring under the Obama administration. Biden was assassinated while he was vice president, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and ousted from power in Egypt, the country’s first democratic president Mohamed Morsi.
In his 50 years of political life, he ran for the presidency in 1986 and 2008 but failed twice.
Step by step tragedy did not leave him behind. His wife and daughter died in a road accident a few days after he became a senator for the first time. He was sworn in as a senator while standing next to the two injured children in the hospital room. And the eldest son who died of brain cancer in 2015.
The Democrat was born in Pennsylvania in 1941. Although he is the son of a businessman father, he spent his adolescence in poverty.
