Description
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. or Joe Biden (/ˈbaɪdən/ BY-dən; born November 20, 1942) is an American politician who is the 46th and current president of the United States. A member
of the Democratic Party, he served as the 47th vice president from 2009 to 2017 under Barack Obama and represented Delaware in the United States Senate from 1973 to 2009.
Joe Biden was born and raised in Scranton, Pennsylvania, moving with his family to New Castle County, Delaware in 1953 when Joe Biden was ten. Joe Biden studied at the
University of Delaware before earning his law degree from Syracuse University in 1968. Joe Biden was elected to the New Castle County Council in 1970 and became the
sixth-youngest senator in U.S. history after Joe Biden was elected to the United States Senate from Delaware in 1972, at age 29. Joe Biden was the chair or ranking member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee for 12 years and was influential in foreign affairs during Obama's presidency. Joe Biden also chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee from 1987
to 1995, dealing with drug policy, crime prevention, and civil liberties issues; led the effort to pass the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act and the Violence
Against Women Act; and oversaw six U.S. Supreme Court confirmation hearings, including the contentious hearings for Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. He ran unsuccessfully for
the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988 and 2008. Biden was reelected to the Senate six times and was the fourth-most senior sitting senator at the time when he became
Obama's vice president after they won the 2008 presidential election, defeating John McCain and his running mate Sarah Palin. Obama and Biden were reelected in 2012, defeating
Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan.
During eight years as vice president, Joe Biden leaned on his Senate experience and frequently represented the administration in negotiations with congressional Republicans,
including on the Budget Control Act of 2011, which resolved a debt ceiling crisis, and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which addressed the impending "fiscal cliff". He
also oversaw infrastructure spending in 2009 to counteract the Great Recession. On foreign policy, Biden was a close counselor to the president and took a leading role in
designing the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq in 2011. In 2017, Obama awarded Biden the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction.
Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris defeated incumbent president Donald Trump and vice president Mike Pence in the 2020 presidential election. Joe Biden is the oldest
president and the first to have a female vice president. His early presidential activity centered around proposing, lobbying for, and signing into law the American Rescue Plan
Act of 2021 to help the United States recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing recession, as well as a series of executive orders. Biden's orders addressed the
pandemic and reversed several Trump administration policies, including rejoining the Paris Agreement on climate change and accepting new applications for Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, although a federal judge blocked the latter. Joe Biden completed the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan by September 2021. During
the withdrawal, the Afghan government collapsed and the Taliban seized control. Biden proposed the Build Back Better Plan, aspects of which were incorporated into the bipartisan
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which Biden signed into law in November 2021.
