Info | Joseph Robinette "Joe" Biden, Jr.
Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., was born November 20, 1942, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the first of four siblings. In 1953, the Biden family moved from Pennsylvania to Claymont, Delaware. He graduated from the University of Delaware and Syracuse Law School and served on the New Castle County Council. Then, at age 29, he became one of the youngest people ever elected to the United States Senate.
Just weeks after the election, tragedy struck the Biden family, when Biden's wife, Neilia, and their 1-year old daughter, Naomi, were killed and their two young sons critically injured in an auto accident. Biden was sworn in at his sons' hospital bedside and began commuting to Washington every day by train, a practice he maintained throughout his career in the Senate.
In 1977, Biden married Jill Jacobs. Jill Biden, who holds a Ph.D. in Education, has been an educator for over two decades in Delaware's schools. Vice President Biden has three children: Beau, Hunter, and Ashley. Beau serves as Delaware's Attorney General and is currently deployed to Iraq as a Captain in the 261st Signal Brigade of the Delaware National Guard. Ashley is a social worker and Hunter is an attorney. Vice President Biden has five grandchildren: Naomi, Finnegan, Roberta Mabel ("Maisy"), Natalie, and Robert Hunter.
As a Senator from Delaware for 36 years, Biden has been a leader on some of our nation's most important domestic and international challenges. As Chairman or Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee for 17 years, Biden was widely recognized for his work on criminal justice issues including the landmark 1994 Crime Bill and the Violence Against Women Act. As Chairman or Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee since 1997, Biden played a pivotal role in shaping U.S. foreign policy. He has been at the forefront of issues and legislation related to terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, post-Cold War Europe, the Middle East, and Southwest Asia.

Pretty sure his comments last night about ending subsidies for the oil industry are going to hurt him down the stretch. This seems to be the one unforced error he made last night that is resonating.
How much and where it hurts him is yet to be seen.
Conservative twitter has latched on to them and media is openly opining the impact.

Ending oil subsidies certainly won't hurt Biden. More than 75% of Americans want to end those.
Spinning it to Biden wanting to shut down fossil fuel companies entirely (possible due to his gaffe) is what could hurt him at the margins in TX, PA, Mt, etc. That's why they're trying so hard to do that.

We had a discussion about how to handle this about 10 years ago. I prefer just what DylanSH99 suggested, but the decision then was to use the short nickname, with the full name in the biography. Maybe we should discuss it again.
An associated question is how to refer to people whose name on the ballot was either misspelled or wrong in some way. This happens more than one might think. In these cases, I use the candidate's real name for the main name and explain in the bio about the different way the name appeared on the ballot.
Also in the early 20th century a lot of candidates went by their initials. For example, a man named Charles J. Harris ran for NC Governor in 1904, but he appeared on the ballot as C.J. Harris. I think either can be okay and probably haven't been consistent in how I handled these cases.

I often consider that an mistake on my part. We need the info to distinguish between candidates as the candidate database gets larger.

A honeymoon period is normal for any president who is not an a******. (Yes, even Republicans: https://news.gallup.com/poll/116500/presidential-approval-ratings-george-bush.aspx)

"Sorry Xi I have to speak out against your genocide because that's the right thing to do, have a nice day!"
There are plenty of critiques of Biden'a foreign policy, but this is factually incorrect. "No president can be taken seriously" if they don't challenge Chinese actions. He took issue with "the idea that I'm not going to speak out against what he is doing" in Hong Kong and with the Uigher genocide. "There will be repercussions."
We shouldn't be making up what Joe Biden's statements and positions are.

Why was Joe Biden's image removed but Kamala Harris' was kept? It's the White House website's initial official pictures of them.
