Joe Biden was born on November 20, 1942, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He graduated from the University of Delaware and Syracuse Law School and served on the New Castle County Council.
At the age of 29, he became one of the youngest people to be ever elected to the Senate of the United States. A couple of weeks after this honor, a tragedy happened to his family. Biden’s wife, Nelia, and their one year old daughter, Naomi, were killed. Their two young sons were also injured in the car accident. In 1977, he remarried a woman named Jill Jacobs.
As a senator from Delaware for 36 years, Biden established himself as a leader on some of our nation’s most important domestic and international challenges.
Joe Biden was elected as Vice President when Barack Obama got elected as United States President in 2008. As the 47th Vice President of the United States, Vice President Biden has continued to face important issues of the nation.
