As a 30-year-old first-time senator from Delaware, Joe Biden had
high hopes that he would end up in the White House. Over the
course of more than three decades in the senate and two terms as
vice president, Biden’s career was marked by his moderate political
positions, personal tragedy and some controversy, including his
support for a 1994 tough-on-crime bill. We talk with New
Yorker journalist Evan Osnos about his new biography of
president-elect Joe Biden and hear how Biden’s life and career
experiences might help him mend a divided country.
