Vice President Joe Biden

Vice President Joe Biden represented Delaware in the United States Senate for 36 years before becoming the 47th Vice President of the United States. In the Senate, he was a leading architect of domestic policy on some of the most pressing issues facing the country, including authoring both the landmark 1994 Crime Act and the Violence Against Women Act and playing a pivotal role in shaping U.S. foreign policy.

As Vice President, he oversaw the implementation of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which was integral to rescuing the economy from the brink of another Great Depression. The Recovery Act added 2 million jobs to the economy and made an unprecedented investment in America’s infrastructure. He also chaired the Middle-Class Task Force, an administration-wide effort to improve the everyday lives and livelihoods of working men and women and oversaw the administration’s Skills Initiative to improve federal workforce training programs. Vice President Biden led the administration’s efforts to implement meaningful reforms to reduce gun violence in this country, which resulted in federal actions aimed at strengthening the background check system and addressing mental health issues linked to gun violence, among others.

Since leaving the White House, Vice President Biden continues his legacy of expanding opportunity for all with the creation of the Biden Foundation, the University of Pennsylvania Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, and the Biden Institute for Domestic Policy at the University of Delaware. He and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, have also founded the Biden Cancer Initiative to end cancer as we know it, and they continue their son Beau’s work protecting children from abuse with the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children. Vice President Biden is the author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller “Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose,” a memoir released in 2017.

Expect an evening of insightful perspectives that can only come from a lifetime dedicated to public service during An Evening with Vice President Joe Biden.
