‘script(-)’
This is the childhood nickname of Joe Biden (78), a boy who had a habit of stuttering. Friends his age followed suit and made fun of him, calling him ‘ba-ba-biden’. Although there are laws to thwart, the Biden boy dreamed of becoming a politician, a politician who was a “ word-based job ” and who was also president. He was taught by his father: “Never complain or try to explain.” To overcome the disadvantage, I tried very hard. I practiced pronunciation with a stone in my mouth, or memorized complete sentences to read.

Joe Biden’s childhood.

Since then, more than 60 years. ‘Stuffer’ Biden secured the majority of the electoral body by facing President Donald Trump, who was a former ‘broadcast star’, in the presidential election. If we go beyond President Trump’s statement of dissent and offense on the “Jul lawsuit,” we will become the “oldest president” after three tens of thousands of challenges to the presidency.

He was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1942. This is the place where Irish great-grandparents who believe in Roman Catholicism migrated to the United States and settled. When he becomes president, he becomes the second president of Catholic origin after John F. Kennedy.

The elementary school also entered the Catholic Mission School. As a child, his father Joseph Biden Sr.’s business became difficult and Bidenga moved to Delaware in the 1950s. This is where Biden’s home still stands.

He entered the University of Delaware in 1961 and majored in politics and history. Later, when he attended Syracuse Law School, he met his first wife, Naelia Hunter, and married Naelia Hunter. Meanwhile, he had two sons, Bo, Hunter, and his daughter Naomi Biden. When Biden met Naylia and her mother-in-law, she said her target was president. The dog’s name was called ‘Senado’.

At the age of 29, in November 1972, he was elected the youngest member of the Delaware State Senate. It was a brilliant debut. He scored a huge victory against Caleb Boggs, an active lawmaker and Republican giant politician. Since then, Biden has spent 36 years as a senator from Delaware, setting a record eight years as vice president since 2009 and starting as president beginning in 2020. If he is reelected and ends his term, he will have 52 years of political experience under the electoral system. .

It’s hard to find a shadow of misfortune, but it’s a well-known fact that Biden began his political journey with great experience. Immediately after being elected senator, his wife Nelia and daughter Naomi died in a car accident. Boy and Hunter were also seriously injured in the accident. Biden was shocked to the point that he tried to quit his office at this point. In 1973, he took his first investiture oath in the hospital room of his two children. For the next 36 years, she traveled by train to her children in Delaware and Washington, DC for four hours round trip. The train ride ended when a bulletproof vehicle came out after the vice president’s election.

In his 2007 autobiography Joe Biden, The Promise to Keep, Biden mentioned the pain he suffered from this incident. God bothered him and repeatedly asked him why the unbearable misfortune had befallen him. Then Biden said: ‘A lot of people live one day in the midst of misery. I came to think that I should not be the one to suffer misfortune, and then I confessed that I had “reconciled” myself to God. He married his second partner, Jill Biden, in 1977 and gave birth to a daughter, Ashley. In his autobiography, he recalled the moment he met Jill and said, “For the first time, besides Nelia, I felt an absolute attraction.”

He also suffered a test that spanned life and death. In 1988, he went to the Democratic Party for his first challenge to the long-awaited presidential election, but was caught in plagiarism and stopped running. Biden later said that had he not made it out of the Democratic primary, he could have lost his life on the campaign trail. In 2008, when he was challenged by the second presidential power, he lost interest and fell behind Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Instead, he became Obama’s running mate and became vice president.

In 2015, near the end of his position as vice president, his son, Bo, passed away. A year had passed after he had been diagnosed with glioblastoma and battled cancer. In his 2019 Joe Biden essay, Promise Father, Biden shared his grief as a father at seeing his son in a fight without odds. Before Boo’s death, he said, “Please promise me courage to follow my father’s path.” A few months after Bo’s death, when he was considering running for the Democratic Party, a political article broke out with the headline “ Biden himself stripped his son’s last wish to the world. ” After withdrawing from the contest, he later confessed: “It was an unbearable attack that exceeded expectations.”

Only then did it come to Biden. In the 2019 Democratic Party, the candidates declared their support for Biden and gave up. Until now, Biden was a moderately pragmatic politician who was not an entertaining candidate who did not compete for clarity. Instead, it was often criticized by both sides as a moderate position. As for the abortion issue, he has been criticized by left, right and Catholic circles for his public approval of abortion, despite claiming to be Catholic. As chairman of the United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he opposed the 1991 Gulf War, but supported NATO’s expansion into Eastern Europe and its involvement in the Yugoslav civil war. They supported the 2002 Iraq War Resolution, but opposed the US troop surge in 2007. As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he led the signing of the drug policy, violent crime prevention, and bill. of human rights.

A special relationship with the late President Kim Dae-jung is also drawing attention. Biden began making friends when former President Kim fled to the United States in the early 1980s.

The story of former President Kim, who was once sentenced to death, ascended to the presidency after various challenges, also inspired Biden. When he met the deceased at the Blue House in 2001 after experiencing a career slump, he told former President Kim, “I like the tie,” and the two immediately changed their ties.

At the time, former President Kim’s tie was buried with soup marks, but Biden said he kept it without erasing it. It means that he regarded his tie as a symbol of hope of being able to “become president.” Biden has referred to former President Kim as a respected leader, and at the time told the Bush administration that “Sunshine Policy is the only solution to North Korea’s nuclear problem.”

Later in 2013, he visited Korea again as vice president and met with then-president Park Geun-hye. At the time, he emphasized the position that Korea should have a clear attitude between the United States and China, saying, “The United States bets on Korea.”
