After his term as vice president, Biden did not seek the presidential nomination in the 2016 presidential election. Biden was elected to the state senate in 1972, as one of the youngest senators elected.
Shortly after being elected, Biden experienced the first of several losses during his lifetime. He lost his first wife Neilia and baby daughter Naomi in a car accident, in which his sons Beau and Hunter were also involved and had severe injuries but both survived. Joe Biden was a single father for five years while also serving as a senator.
He married his current wife Jill Biden in 1977 and they have a daughter together, Ashley Blazer. In 2015, he lost his son Beau to
brain cancer.
Biden has written two books, “Promise me, Dad” and “Promises to Keep” and he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2017 by Obama.
Jill Biden is also an author, with her book titled “When the Light Enters: Building a Family, Discovering Myself.”
This home in Delaware is said to be the fulfillment of a dream for Biden, who worked to secure the return of federal land at Cape Henlopen State Park, which the house reportedly overlooks. The home is located in Rehoboth Beach, which the couple has visited for years.
