Washington: Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden is set to become the next President of the United States. According to US media, Biden defeated his Republican rival Donald Trump in a close contest on Saturday. Biden will be the 46th President of the United States. Joe Biden, who has been active in U.S. politics for nearly five decades, made history on Saturday by making the glorious journey from being the youngest senator to become the oldest U.S. president.
Biden broke the 28-year-old two-term presidency in the United States
This, in itself, is Biden’s record-breaking 28-year presidency for two consecutive terms. The President of the United States has won elections twice in a row since 1992. Bill Clinton of the Democratic Party was president in 1992 and 1996 and twice served as president, George W. Bush of the Republican Party was president in 2000 and 2004, and Barack Obama of the Democratic Party won two consecutive elections in 2008 and 2012. But by defeating the Republican Party’s Donald Trump in the 2020 election, this streak has been broken.
Joe Biden, who has been active in U.S. politics for nearly five decades, made history on Saturday by making the glorious journey from the youngest senator to the oldest U.S. president. Biden, 77, has been a six-time senator. It is not that he has achieved this success in his first attempt. Biden failed to win the presidency in 1988 and 2008. Biden, a veteran leader from Sanjoy Delaware who dreamed of becoming president, had his biggest success when he managed to make it to the presidential race on February 29 by beating all his rivals in the Democratic Party primary in South Carolina. Biden, who spent five decades in Washington, was a familiar face to the American public as he twice served as vice president under then-President Barack Obama. Biden, who defeated 74-year-old Trump to gain a seat in the White House, has become the oldest president in US history.
Biden has been a staunch supporter of strengthening Indo-US relations
Having been a senator in the state of Delaware for nearly three decades and during his eight-year tenure during the Obama administration, he has always been an advocate of strengthening Indo-US relations. Biden also played a key role in the passage of the India-America Nuclear Agreement. Biden, who has strong ties to Indian politicians, also includes a large number of Indian-Americans. In July, Biden called India-US “natural partners” during an election fundraising campaign. Recalling his eight-year tenure as Vice President, he mentioned further strengthening of ties with India and said that India-US relations would be his priority if elected President.
Biden’s early days
Born in Pennsylvania in 1942, Robinet Biden Jr. was educated at the University of Delaware and later earned a law degree in 1968. Biden was first elected senator in Delaware in 1972 and has held the post six times. Biden, who became a senator at the age of 29, is the youngest leader to become a senator so far.
