About Joe Biden
Joe Biden was born November 20, 1942, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the first of four siblings in an Irish-Catholic family. The family later moved to a middle-class neighborhood in Delaware. His parents worked hard to teach their children to stand up for what matters most.
At age 29, he became one of the youngest people ever elected to the United States Senate, beating an incumbent Republican. He never forgot where he came from. While most Senators live in Washington, he commutes home every night using public transportation to be with his wife of almost 30 years, Jill, a school teacher, and his now 89-year-old mother. They have three children - Beau, Hunter, and Ashley - and five grandchildren.
