Early life

Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was born on November 20, 1942. He arrived at St. Mary's Hospital in Scranton, Pennsylvania, to parents Joseph Robinette Biden Sr and Catherine Eugenia "Jean" Biden. Joe has two brothers and a sister. They spent their youth growing up in Claymont and Mayfield, Delaware.

Biden's father worked as a used car salesman, earning a decent income to provide his family with a middle-class lifestyle. Biden was a poor student, but he was a standout running back on his high school football team.

Biden married Neilia Hunter on August 27, 1966, and he had two sons and a daughter with her. Tragically, his wife and daughter died in a car wreck in 1972, and he lost his son Beau in 2015 to brain cancer, leaving his son Hunter as his only remaining heir. Biden married his current wife, Jill, in 1977.

Education

Joe Biden attended school at Archmere Academy in Claymont, where he earned the title of class president in his junior and senior years. Biden graduated from high school in 1961, choosing to attend the University of Delaware in Newark for his higher education.

After a lackluster college career, Biden graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in political science and a minor in English in 1965. Joe also had a stutter in his childhood and adolescence. He claims to have gotten rid of the stutter by reciting poetry in front of the mirror in his 20's.
