Joe Biden who went to the President without losing his life - Joe Biden Life Story

Joe Biden, the 46th President-elect of the United States, will be sworn in on January 21, 2021. He previously served (2008-2016) as the Vice President of the prestigious President Barack Obama.

Joe Biden worked briefly as a lawyer before entering politics. He suffered major setbacks on two occasions in his life due to the sudden deaths of his wife and children. He sought the Democratic candidacy on two occasions but was unsuccessful. He eventually ran for a third term and won the presidential election with the highest number of votes. This is his story.

Biden - born November 20, 1942 - grew up in Scranton, Northeastern Pennsylvania. His father, Joseph Biden, was a used car dealer. His mother was Eugenia Catherine. They come from a Catholic family who immigrated to America from Ireland. Biden has two brothers and a sister. Biden respects his parents for teaching them to work hard and to work hard.

Biden is a character who emerged from perseverance in the face of immense pressure.

Biden was originally educated at St. Paul's Elementary School in Scranton. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Mayfield, Delaware, where Biden attended St. Helena's School.

As a child, Biden was a naughty boy. Some friends called him "Dash." But he was a shy character to talk to in front of a class of people. Because of this he was ridiculed by his friends. He later described how he overcame those obstacles by memorizing poetry aloud in front of a house mirror.

A skinny tall student, Biden was also good at sports at school and stood out on the football field.

Biden also holds a bachelor's degree in history and political science from the University of Delaware

He said he was interested in his first two years of education at the university but later became interested in football, girls and party politics.

Former US President John F. Kennedy is said to have been one of his heroes. Biden studied law at Syracuse Law School after graduating from Delaware. He met Neilia Hunter, a law student, and married in 1966.

Biden graduated from the Law College in 1968. At the same time he came to Wilmington. In Delaware, he wanted to start training at a law firm. He was a member of the Democratic Party at the time and first ran for office in 1970. Biden started his own law firm in 1971 while serving as a member of Castle County Council. Aside from his busy career, his family also had three children.

Beau (born 1969), Hunter (born 1970) and Naomi (born 1971) were his children.

In 1972, Biden won a landslide victory and was elected the fifth youngest U.S. senator.

Just as Biden's dreams came true, so too were the major defeats in his life. It was during this time that his whole life turned upside down. One week before Christmas 1972, Biden's wife and three children were involved in a tragic car accident.

His wife and daughter were killed when they were hit by a tractor in an accident while shopping at Christmas. His two sons were seriously injured.

Biden later said he was disturbed by the pain and thought he was trying to commit suicide.

He also missed the swearing-in ceremony for the new senators in Washington.

Instead, he was sworn in at his sons' hospital room. Biden decided to spend as much time with his children as possible.

 From 1973 to 2009, Biden held an outstanding Senate career. During his time in the Senate, Biden was honored as its leader. His meeting with foreign policy experts and his chairmanship of the Foreign Committee laid the foundation for him to become a future leader of the country.

He has worked extensively with the Soviet Union, advocating for the restriction of strategic weapons, promoting peace and stability in the Balkans, expanding NATO, controlling the Gulf War, and the genocide in Darfur, while gaining vast experience.

In addition to foreign policy, Biden has publicly brought a number of important proposals to the Senate.

Candidates for the presidency in the United States are chosen by the winners of state - level presidential contests within the party.

In 1987, Biden prepared to run for the presidency in the Democratic primary. But unfortunately he got sick during that round. As a result, he dropped out of Democratic primary.

Biden suffered a severe headache. In 1988, he developed a blood clot in his lungs due to a brain complication and had to stay away from all activities for seven months until he could recover from surgery.

After a seven-month recovery, Biden returned to the Senate.

Twenty years later, in 2007, he decided to run for a second term as President of the United States.

But he missed an opportunity in a field dominated by Hillary Clinton.

Barack Obama was more inclined towards Hillary. Biden withdrew from the race after receiving less than one percent of the vote in decisive Iowa.

By then, however, Obama was realizing Biden's strengths. A few months later, Obama became an indispensable figure in defending the Democratic Party, considering the vote base in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

 

Biden became vice president in 2009 after Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States. Biden mostly worked in the role of a behind-the-scenes consultant. Because of this, only those who knew his name knew.

Biden was the figure behind the acclaimed Obama-era foreign policy.

 

Biden was instrumental in paving the way for Obama's re-election in 2012. Obama won nearly 60 percent of the vote, and his popularity continued. Accordingly, Biden was once again Obama's vice president.

By this time, Biden had also become a leading figure in the nation. Obama also praised Biden's decision to avoid pressure on Russia and China to curb violence in the country.

 

After the death of Biden's first wife, he set out to raise children on his own. But it was not an easy task and he married his second wife, Jill Biden, in 1977. The couple's daughter, Ashley, was born in 1981. On May 30, 2015, Biden's eldest son, Beau, died at the age of 46 of brain cancer. He is survived by his youngest son, Hunter, and youngest daughter, Ashley. Hunter was also addicted to drugs and lost his life. In the aftermath of this tragedy, Biden is seeking to reap the rewards of his third term as president.

On January 12, 2017, President Obama's speech praising Biden was one of the most talked about in the Democratic Party. Biden said Obama was "the best vice president America has ever had. He's a lion."

Although he started his presidential campaign early, he stuck to policies. He occasionally went on to criticize Trump, the 45th president. "Trump does not understand how to govern," he said at an October 2017 event.

He was the next leader of the Democratic Party in internal elections.

On April 25, 2019, Biden officially announced that he was running for office.

 

The impeachment of Trump took place on February 5, 2020, and he was acquitted, but Trump's popularity continued to plummet. At the state level, opinion polls showed that Biden was favored by many.

On August 11, 2020, Biden announced Kamala Harris as her second. The announcement was a blow to Trump's racist election campaign. The first presidential debate between Biden and Trump took place on September 29, 2020, and it was chaotic.

 Trump's unnecessary interruptions and quick talk off topic could not take advantage of it.

Outraged, Biden twice called his opponent a "joker."

The second debate is scheduled for Oct. 15, but Trump has denied it.

During the third debate on October 22, Trump's obstacles resurfaced. Biden faced interruptions when expressing his position. Joe Biden was able to bring up good arguments about health care, immigration laws, green jobs, and Trump's failed corona management.

After all this, the presidential election was not as clear as expected. Even during the race, Trump made various statements and shouted that the election was illegal.

On November 7, 2020, four days after Election Day, Biden was elected President.

He was elected the 46th president after the victory of Pennsylvania.

He had a record 74 million votes.

"The work to be done will be difficult for us in the future, but I promise you this. I will be president for all Americans, whether you vote for me or not. I will keep the trust you have placed in me."

Joe Biden, the new President of the United States, said in his victory speech.
