Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the first of four children of Catherine Eugenia Finnegan Biden and Joseph Robinette Biden, Sr. In 1953, the Biden family moved to Claymont, Delaware. President Biden graduated from the University of Delaware and Syracuse Law School and served on the New Castle County Council.
At age 29, President Biden became one of the youngest people ever elected to the United States Senate. Just weeks after his Senate election, tragedy struck the Biden family when his wife Neilia and daughter Naomi were killed, and sons Hunter and Beau were critically injured, in an auto accident.
Biden married Jill Jacobs in 1977, and in 1980, their family was complete with the birth of Ashley Blazer Biden. A lifelong educator, Jill earned her doctorate in education and returned to teaching as an English professor at a community college in Virginia.
Beau Biden, Attorney General of Delaware and Joe Biden’s eldest son, passed away in 2015 after battling brain cancer with the same integrity, courage, and strength he demonstrated every day of his life. Beau’s fight with cancer inspires the mission of President Biden’s life — ending cancer as we know it.
Joe Biden was close to President Obama and took a leading role in designing the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq in 2011.
Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris defeated incumbent president Donald Trump and vice president Mike Pence in the 2020 presidential election. He is the oldest president and the first to have a female vice president. Biden successfully proposed the American Rescue Plan Act to help the U.S. recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent recession. He proposed the American Jobs Plan, aspects of which were eventually incorporated into the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Biden also proposed a significant expansion of the social safety net, but those efforts, along with voting rights legislation, failed in Congress in 2021. He nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. In foreign policy, Biden restored the U.S. into the Paris Agreement on climate change. He ordered the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, resulting in the Afghan government collapsing and the Taliban seizing control, for which Biden received bipartisan criticism. Biden responded to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 by imposing sanctions on Russia and authorizing foreign aid and weapons shipments to Ukraine.
