Joe Biden has always believed that when given a chance,
ordinary people can do extraordinary things. As a scrappy kid from Scranton who
rose to the Office of Vice President, he is no exception. During his 45 years
of public service, one of Biden’s greatest strengths has been his ability to
bring people together, even in crisis, even across difficult divides, all the
while, respecting everybody at the table.
This fall, Joe Biden will travel the nation for his American
Promise Tour, a series of conversations that will go beyond the 24-hour
news cycle and 140-character arguments to connect friends and neighbors around
the topics that matter most. Biden will reveal the big political moments of his
career, the life-altering choices he made, and the key traits that have helped
him persevere through challenges. He will share how the loss of his son Beau
tested his resolve, and how he is finding new purpose in a time of uncertainty.
Each ticket includes a copy of Joe Biden’s forthcoming
memoir, Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose (a $27
value, on sale November 14 from Flatiron Books).
Bio: Joe Biden represented Delaware for 36 years in
the U.S. Senate before serving as 47th Vice President of the United States from
2009 to 2017. As the Vice President, Joe Biden addressed important issues
facing the nation and represented America abroad, traveling over 1.2 million
miles to more than 50 countries. He convened sessions of the President’s
Cabinet, led interagency efforts, and worked with Congress in his fight to
raise the living standards of middle class Americans, reduce gun violence,
address violence against women, and end cancer as we know it.
Since leaving the White House, Vice President Biden
continues his legacy of expanding opportunity for all with the creation of the
Biden Foundation, the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement at
the University of Pennsylvania, and the Biden Domestic Policy Institute at the
University of Delaware. He is the author of Promises to Keep: On Life
and Politics and the forthcoming memoir Promise Me, Dad: A
Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose (on sale Nov. 14).
