President-elect Joe Biden won the most votes of any US
presidential candidate in history when he won the 2020 election
with his running mate Kamala Harris. He represented Delaware for
thirty-six years in the US Senate before serving as 47th Vice
President of the United States from 2009 to 2017. As the Vice
President, Joe Biden addressed important issues facing the nation
and represented America abroad, traveling over 1.2 million miles to
more than fifty countries. He convened sessions of the President’s
Cabinet, led interagency efforts, and worked with Congress in his
fight to raise the living standards of middle-class Americans,
reduce gun violence, address violence against women and end cancer
as we know it.
Biden continues his legacy of expanding opportunity for all with
the creation of the Biden Foundation, the Penn Biden Center for
Diplomacy and Global Engagement at the University of Pennsylvania
and the Biden Domestic Policy Institute at the University of
Delaware. He is the author of Promises to Keep: On Life and
Politics and the memoir Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship,
and Purpose.
The book is a backstage drama, honest, raw and rich in detail.
People who have lost someone will genuinely take comfort from what
he has to say...These flashes of vulnerability are part of what
makes Promise Me, Dad memorable; so, too, are the small, tender
interactions between Biden and his dying son.
*The New York Times*
Biden splices a heartbreaking story with an election story and a
foreign affairs story. And in so doing, he offers something for
everyone, no matter which strand draws you in.
*The New York Times Book Review*
Promise Me, Dad is Joe Biden's poignant, instructive and deeply
affecting account of a family's struggle against a vicious brain
cancer, played out against the demands of his job as vice president
and the temptations of another run for the presidency. It is also a
touching account of the cruel realities of cancer, especially
cancer that strikes a child.
*Irish Independent*
Promise Me, Dad is Joe Biden’s poignant account of the most
challenging year of his vice-presidency and the second-most
difficult year of his life. More than anything else, the book is a
reminder of the importance of politics: how much elections can
change the trajectory of a country, and how different America has
become one year after Donald Trump was elected president.
*The Guardian*
