Biden ran for President two times, in 1988 and 2008.
 The first time he was viewed as a good choice early on, but quit after it was discovered he gave a speech that was copied from Neil Kinnock, a British politician.

Biden tried again to get the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election.
 He ran mostly on foreign issues, especially getting U.S. troops out of Iraq.
 Many thought of him as a good choice for Secretary of State.
 He stopped his campaign on January 3, 2008 after he did not get many votes in the Iowa caucus.
However, he later became Barack Obama's pick for Vice President due to what he knew about Iraq and because the working class liked him.

When Biden was running for President, he criticized Obama, talking about his lack of experience, but later he supported Obama to become president.
 His opponent as Vice President was Sarah Palin, who had less experience but was seen as more interesting by the media.
Before the election, there were debates between the different candidates running for president or vice president.
In the debate between Biden and Palin, many people believed that he knew more about running America than Palin did.
 When Obama was elected President on November 4, 2008, Biden was elected Vice President.
