For many years, Biden was a U.S. Senator from Delaware.
 Biden was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1972 when he was 29 years old.
 His election was somewhat of a surprise.
The other candidate, J. Caleb Boggs, had more experience and more money to spend on his campaign.
 He is one of the youngest people to become a U.S. Senator, because he was only two months older than the minimum age, 30, required to be one.

Biden was re-elected to the Senate six times.
  Later in his time in the Senate, Biden served as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee.
 The Foreign Relations committee deals with American issues in other countries.
 When Biden was chair, the committee dealt with the 1991 Gulf War, the 2003 War in Iraq, and several treaties.
 The Judiciary Committee dealt with the choice of Clarence Thomas, Robert Bork, and others for the Supreme Court (SCOTUS).
 Biden thought that Thomas and Bork should not be on the Court.
 Though U.S. senators work in Washington, DC, Biden took the train home to Delaware every night.
