Joe Biden would enter the White House as President on Jan 20 2021. He would be 78 years then and would make history by being the oldest person ever to assume this office. After the results, Joe Biden pledged to be a “President for all Americans”. With this, Ms Kamala Harris, his running mate, also becomes the Vice President of USA. She takes over from Mike Pence.

Current US President Joe Biden, was the Vice President during the tenure of President Barack Obama. He became a senator at the age of 29, one of the youngest to reach that distinction. Kamala Harris, on the other hand, became a senator for the first time in 2016. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are both lawyers by training. Joe Biden first tried to get a presidential nomination (selection by the party for the role of President) in 1988! His dream realised in 2020 – 32 years later. Congratulations, Joe Biden!!!
