About our Joe Biden news
Latest news on Joe Biden, from his presidency (2021-2025) and career to current activities, covering key policies, achievements and his impact on American politics.
Joe Biden served as the 46th president of the United States from 2021 to 2025, following eight years as vice president under Barack Obama (2009-2017) and 36 years as a senator from Delaware. At 78, he became the oldest person to assume the presidency and the second ÕýÃÃAV president after John F. Kennedy.
Biden's presidency was marked by significant legislative achievements, including the American Rescue Plan, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. He oversaw the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, provided extensive support to Ukraine following Russia's invasion, and responded to the Israel-Hamas war. His term saw record job creation and declining inflation, though concerns about his age and cognitive ability persisted.
In July 2024, following a widely criticised debate performance against Donald Trump, Biden made the historic decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race despite having secured enough delegates for nomination. He endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who subsequently lost to Trump in the general election. In December 2024, he issued a controversial pardon to his son Hunter Biden for federal offenses.
Biden's political career spans over five decades, beginning with his election to the New Castle County Council in 1970. He overcame personal tragedy when his first wife and daughter died in a car accident in 1972, shortly after his election to the Senate. Throughout his career, he has been known for his ability to work across party lines and his emphasis on middle-class values, earning him the nickname "Middle-Class Joe".
