 The way he started his political career

Biden has been interested in politics since the 1981 election. However, he became more involved in politics. Biden began his career as a lawyer in those days. Worked at a law firm in Wilmington, Delaware. While working there, he became vocal about politics. Although working in the Republican leader's law firm, he did not support Republican political ideology. At the time, he identified himself as an independent lawyer because he did not support Republican presidential candidate Richard Nixon.In 1969, he went to war with a Democrat leader. Because of this, register yourself as a Democrat. The support of the Democrats began. In a short time, he made himself known on the stage of politics. Biden was elected to the Newcastle City Council the following year. He also set up his own law firm in 1981, shortly after becoming a councilor. His popularity and political acceptance caught the eye of Democrat leaders. The following year, the Democratic Party confronted Bowden at the age of 29 in a Senate election in a Republican-dominated area. Bowden's opponent was Caleb Boggs, a popular Republican senator at the time. Biden's sister Valerie Biden was the campaign manager. In addition, both his parents campaigned daily for Biden. Despite Biden's popularity, no one expected him to defeat Republican leader Caleb Boggs. But Biden gave birth to an accident in November. He lost to Caleb and was elected senator in Delaware. Biden became the fifth youngest senator in U.S.A history.

  Think about the financial crisis

Biden has seen the family's financial troubles since childhood. Although the pain has eased somewhat since he began his career as a lawyer, family tragedy has repeatedly hit him. His son Bo Biden was the attorney general of the state of Delaware. In January 2015, he became seriously ill. His cancer is known. Her son died in May. Joe Biden was vice president at the time. In a luncheon conversation with President Obama this week, he told Obama he was worried about money. He is a bit worried about taking care of the boy's family without earning a living. To avoid this, he and his wife informed Obama of their plans to sell their home in Delaware. Then President Obama forbade him to sell the house and promised to give him as much money as he needed. In an interview with CNN, Biden recalled his son's untimely death and became emotional during the story.

His first wife and daughter, son of cancer, died in the accident

Joe Biden married Nelia Hunter in 1986. Biden's three children were born there. But just one year after the birth of the third child, terrible things happened. He lost his wife and one-year-old daughter in a tragic road accident the night before Christmas 1972. Somehow he survived the journey with his two sons. The tragic death of Chobal had shattered Biden's first family. He was elected as a senator at a young age. His fame spread. But this terrible tragedy that befell his family almost stopped his political career. Biden's struggle to raise a three- and four-year-old boy began. Biden later married Jill Biden. Biden's family was hit hard again in 2015. At that time, cancer took away the life of her 46-year-old son.

 From senator to vice president

Americans know Biden as a successful senator. He has been a senator for almost four decades. This responsibility can be said to be the basis of his long political career of 50 years. Senator Biden was at the top of popularity for almost four decades from 1983 to 2009. He was chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee for a few days as a memento of the honor. Worked at the policy-making stage of US foreign relations. The American people are still grateful to Senator Biden for not going into direct arms attacks with the Soviet Union. He was also involved in all important activities such as peace talks with the disputed Balkan region and increasing NATO membership for resistance against the Soviets. Joe Biden, a staunch supporter of peace, was a staunch opponent of the Darfur attack and President George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq. Since the beginning of politics, Biden has been vocal about consumer protection and environmental issues. His role in the implementation of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has been repeatedly discussed. Not only that, since 1992, he has made clear his position in favor of increasing the legal restrictions and extending the sentence, which in many cases does not fully match his party's policy. However, his popularity in the team has not decreased so much. He came forward as a US presidential candidate in 2008. At that time, Americans were fascinated by Barack Obama. That's why Obama went ahead in the team. Obama did not make the mistake of using Biden's experience and wisdom. He chose Biden as his vice president. Joe Biden will take over as vice president if Obama is elected president. He was the Vice President of the United States from 2009 to 2016.

 In the fight to become president

Before running for president of the United States in 2020, Biden ran for office twice more. His drawn-out victory and popularity as a senator has always been discussed in the Democrats. Proponents of her case have been working to make the actual transcript of this statement available online. In 1986, Biden first decided to run for president. But you can see the difference between an election fight at the Senate level and a fight as president. That's why Biden moved away on his own. Although on paper, Biden was defeated at the time. Physically, Biden's condition became critical. In 1986, Biden's brain was reported to have grown into two arteries. During the brain surgery, blood suddenly started to clot in his lungs. One more surgery is needed. But Biden, who lost the presidency, returned to life once more. In just seven months, he returned to Delaware as a senator. Then in 2008 he started fighting for the presidency again. The service was defeated by Barack Obama's skyrocketing popularity. But Obama embraced him as his best friend. Barack Obama served as vice president for eight years after his victory. In 2016, Donald Trump surprised everyone and was elected US President. Biden's term expires next year. Party leaders chose Joe Biden as the primary and Kansas Democrat candidate for the 2020 election. Biden is running for president for the 3^rd  time. Biden called for a vote, highlighting Trump's failures and whimsy. He has repeatedly spoken of unity to the common people. Many had questions about how successful Biden would be in the face of Republican aggression. In addition, in most cases, the practice of being president twice in a row is seen in the United States. With those challenges in mind, Biden has to go to the polls.

  Politics is not before family

Biden has given priority to family over politics. Within weeks of being elected senator, Biden's life took a turn for the worse. His wife Nelia and daughter Naomi were killed in a car accident. His two sons were also seriously injured. Biden wanted to leave politics because of this catastrophe. But at the insistence of the party, Biden was sworn in as a senator at the hospital. Biden later married Jill Jacobs in 1986. They have a daughter named Ashley. Biden's family life was disrupted again in 2015. He lost his son Joseph to complications from a brain tumor while he was vice president. Biden withdrew from the election the following year to run for president in 2016, but gave time to his family.

 Controversy surrounds him, allegations of sexual harassment

 In political life, there have been two major controversies and allegations about Biden. Both times he began campaigning as a presidential candidate. When Biden first announced himself as a presidential candidate at a relatively young age, he was accused of stealing the speech of Neil Kink of the British Labor Party. He was criticized for this during the 1986 election campaign. He was criticized for opposing a court ruling in tandem with racial segregation in southern America. In 2020, he was accused of sexual harassment. In March of this year, Tara Reid filed a complaint alleging that Joe Biden sexually abused her in 1993. Reid worked as an associate in Biden's office as a senator. After the issue was discussed in 1993, the allegation came up again in the context of the new presidential election. Although Biden was blown up, several other women have accused Biden of misconduct. In addition, in 2012, Biden was in the midst of a heated debate over gay couples' right to marry.
