When Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is sworn in as the 46th President of the United States on Jan. 20, it will mark a monumental capstone to a more than four-decade career in Washington.
Biden’s journey to career politician began in Pennsylvania, born as the oldest of four siblings in 1942. Biden has long spoken about his father’s financial struggle during the early years of his childhood, before the family relocated to Delaware for work.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. Operations are strict at the UNC Friday Medical Center as those who are 65 and older are now getting the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Governor Roy Cooper toured the facility on Tuesday, as the Medical Center prepares to allow more people in the building to continue giving the vaccine. But not all counties are doing as well. We know that it s been easy in a lot of communities, and in some communities, it s been very difficult for people. Once we did open up the 65 to 75, a lot of people called in and wanted to get appointments, Cooper said.
