Joe Biden has been in Washington for the majority of his life.
He was first elected to the United States Senate in 1972 when he was 29 years old, and he was one of Delaware’s two Senators for 30 years, before Barack Obama chose him as his running mate in 2008.
Biden himself had run for president that year, but dropped out after a very poor showing in the primary.
This was his second attempt at the run for the White House.
He also ran in 1988, but dropped out of that race in shame after being exposed in several scandals surrounding plagiarism and outright lying about his resume.
Biden finally won his party’s nomination in 2020, after losing the first two primaries and a deal was cut for all other nominees to drop out of the race to clear the way for Biden.
He was sworn in as President the following January.
Today Biden has rebranded himself as a champion of the middle class, but his record shows that he has done more in his time in Washington to build the middle class in China.
How has 'Middle Class Joe' made multi-millions as a public servant, while helping to destroy the middle class here in America?
