Joe Biden may still seem a bit unre­mark­able in Europe, but the Amer­i­cans are famil­iar with the polit­i­cal vet­er­an. The for­mer vice-pres­i­dent has cel­e­brat­ed great suc­cess­es pro­fes­sion­al­ly and suf­fered severe blows of fate in his pri­vate life. Joe Biden embod­ies a lot that Don­ald Trump does­n’t want to be. The 77-year-old has been part of the US polit­i­cal estab­lish­ment for decades. The polit­i­cal vet­er­an entered the bat­tle for the White House on the grounds that anoth­er term of office for the Repub­li­can incum­bent would fun­da­men­tal­ly change the nature of the coun­try for­ev­er. The oppo­si­tion to Trump is Biden’s strongest argu­ment ahead of the Novem­ber 3rd elec­tion, in which he hopes a broad coali­tion will sup­port him.

Biden could turn things around US elec­tion sets new stan­dard for cli­mate rescue

Biden was born on Novem­ber 20, 1942 in Scran­ton, Penn­syl­va­nia. The lawyer began his polit­i­cal career on the city coun­cil of Wilm­ing­ton, Delaware, where he now lives with his sec­ond wife Jill. At the age of 29, Biden was elect­ed to the US Sen­ate in 1972, where he rep­re­sent­ed Delaware until 2009. Before the 1988 and 2008 elec­tions, Biden ran unsuc­cess­ful­ly for the Demo­c­ra­t­ic pres­i­den­tial nom­i­na­tion. Now he is mak­ing what may be the last attempt to rule the USA from the Oval Office.

“I rep­re­sent you all”

In 2009, Biden moved into the White House as Vice Pres­i­dent in the admin­is­tra­tion of Trump’s pre­de­ces­sor Barack Oba­ma. Oba­ma said in August that he found a broth­er in Biden dur­ing his two terms in office. The Democ­rats adver­tise that Biden would bring reli­a­bil­i­ty instead of unpre­dictabil­i­ty, self­less­ness instead of self­ish­ness, calm instead of noise, decen­cy instead of dis­hon­esty in the White House.

Biden’s polit­i­cal expe­ri­ence is also high­light­ed. Biden says he’s run­ning as a Demo­c­rat. When asked dur­ing the last TV duel with Trump what he would say in his inau­gu­ra­tion speech if he won, he replied: “I am an Amer­i­can pres­i­dent, I rep­re­sent you all, whether you vot­ed for or against me.”

Biden, the fam­i­ly man

Jill Biden is the sec­ond wife of the for­mer Vice Pres­i­dent. The daugh­ter Ash­ley Blaz­er comes from this mar­riage. Jill Biden is approach­able and close to the peo­ple. At the Demo­c­ra­t­ic Par­ty con­fer­ence, the 69-year-old was hooked up from a class­room in a high school in Wilm­ing­ton where she had pre­vi­ous­ly taught Eng­lish. Jill Biden drew a very per­son­al pic­ture of a car­ing hus­band and father with a sol­id com­pass of val­ues ​​who stand up for oth­er peo­ple. At pub­lic appear­ances, the Biden’s deal­ings with each oth­er seem lov­ing. Joe Biden does­n’t skimp on his roots in his speech­es. Some­times he tells what he has learned from his father, or he intro­duces his sen­tences with “My moth­er would say …”. Again and again he talks about the impor­tance of the fam­i­ly for his life.
Strokes of fate and a son in the spotlight

Biden’s tri­umph in the 1972 Sen­ate elec­tion was over­shad­owed by a car acci­dent in which his first wife, Neil­ia, and daugh­ter, Nao­mi, were killed. The sons Beau and Hunter were injured. Biden says the sons — whom he looked after as a sin­gle father until he met Jill — saved him. Anoth­er stroke of fate occurred in 2015 when Beau died of com­pli­ca­tions from a brain tumor. Biden’s younger son Hunter lived unsteadi­ly in the past, and now he speaks pub­licly about his addic­tion prob­lem. Repub­li­cans have long tried to make life mis­er­able for Joe Biden over his son’s ear­li­er con­tro­ver­sial over­seas deal. Hunter Biden had, among oth­er things, a high­ly paid posi­tion at a scan­dal-rid­den gas com­pa­ny in Ukraine for many years. Trump accus­es Biden of try­ing to pro­tect his son from the Ukrain­ian judi­cia­ry as Vice Pres­i­dent. Hunter Biden now lives as an artist in California.

Return to the allies

Biden is not a vision­ary. He wants to bring the coun­try “back to nor­mal” and bring it togeth­er. He evokes the old days when he and Oba­ma were in the White House and the US was seen as a pre­dictable part­ner by allies. “The first thing I have to do, and I’m not jok­ing, if I get elect­ed, I have to call the heads of state and say Amer­i­ca is back, you can count on us,” Biden said recent­ly. “I will be a pres­i­dent who will stand by our allies and friends,” he said else­where. “I will make it clear to our oppo­nents that the days of ingra­ti­a­tion with dic­ta­tors are over.”
