About Joe Biden

Joe Biden is the Vice President of the United States. He was a member of the U.S. Senate, representing the state of Delaware. He previously chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee and headed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. At the age of 30, Biden became the fifth-youngest senator in history. However, Biden's victory celebration was short-lived. Just days before he was set to be sworn in, his wife, Neilia, and their three children got into a car accident. Neilia and their youngest child, 18-month-old Naomi, were killed. His two other sons, ages 4 and 3, were seriously injured. Five years after his family's fatal car accident, Biden found love again with Jill Tracy Jacobs. They've been married since 1977 and have one daughter.
