Who is Biden?
With the tone of US President Donald Trump and his supporters warming in the final meters of the presidential race, his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, was calmer, more balanced and realistic, qualities that reflected his decades-long history with politics. until he finally made it to the White House.
And unlike Trump, a billionaire and real estate mogul who always speaks the language of business and finance, Biden is a veteran politician who preserves the corridors of American politics for decades, and was the second man in America after the former president. Barack Obama, where he served as his deputy from 2009 to 2017 during a period in which their relationship strengthened. Even on a personal level.
Biden has characteristics that managed to attract the mood of the American voter, which he was able to highlight in his speech during the months leading up to the elections.
Biden (77 years old), who became the oldest president in the history of the United States, was no stranger to American political life when he was elected months ago to represent the Democrats in the presidential elections, 47 years ago he entered the Senate of the United States and led his first campaign for the presidential election 33 years ago.

Biden, accused more than once of inappropriate treatment with women, praised his political work during 8 years within the White House as Obama’s deputy, and if this period was one of his sources of strength, on the other hand he was the object of criticism from Trump and his supporters, who have been asking him: Why didn’t you do that when you were in charge? ” As long as you show something from your election program.
According to veteran American journalist Thomas Friedman, who spoke to “Sky News Arabia” a few days ago, Biden “represents a new and diverse America” and will work to “restore the unity of the American people after a state of division created by Trump.” .
Luck may have served Biden when he worked with Obama, the first black president in US history, and then chose Kamala Harris as his deputy in the 2020 elections, who is an Asian Latin American, to flirt with minorities in the United States. starving for equality after critical months and painful incidents, during which American police were accused of racism against blacks. He is trying to banish the racist charges that have personally haunted him for years.
With his divergent and sometimes conflicting positions regarding US foreign policy, especially regarding its military invasions, Biden confuses politicians who are trying to predict the course of Washington’s relations with the world during his presidency, especially after the last few weeks they have raised concerns about the Democrats’ supportive approach to extremist groups. In the context of a Hillary Clinton email leak.

As for what’s most troubling about this foreign affairs record, it’s Biden’s tendency to use diplomacy, not pressure, on the Iranian nuclear weapons issue, after years of severity with which Trump’s weapon went to the ground. deal with Tehran and its expansionary policies in the region.
