Democrat Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump to become the next President of the United States of America. The voters narrowly rebuffed Republican incumbent Trump's tumultuous leadership and embraced Biden's promise to fight the coronavirus pandemic and deal with the economic challanges. Biden, who is set to become the 46th US President, mounted unsuccessful bids for the presidency in 1988 and 2008. His running mate, US Senator Kamala Harris, will become the first woman, the first Black American and the first American of Asian descent to serve as Vice President, the country's No. 2 office. Joe Biden was born on November 20, 1942 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He tied knot with Neilia Hunter in 1966. He won first of six Senate elections from Delaware in 1772. Unfortunately, in the same year, Joe Biden lost his wife and an infant daughter in a fatal car accident. He married to Jill Jacobs in 1972 and has a daughter from her. He failed to win Democratic nomination for President race in 1988.
