KEYNOTE SPEAKER
President Joe Biden
At age 29, Biden became one of the youngest Americans ever elected to the U.S. Senate. Over 36 years representing Delaware, he played a leading role in addressing major domestic and international issues, including authoring the Violence Against Women Act.
In 2008, Biden was elected Vice President alongside President Barack Obama. Together, the Obama-Biden Administration passed the Affordable Care Act, helping millions of Americans gain access to affordable health insurance.
In 2020, Biden was elected the 46th President of the United States. During one of the most challenging moments in modern American history, his Administration led the nation through the COVID-19 pandemic, accelerated vaccine distribution, and helped drive an economic recovery that created more than 16 million jobs.
The Biden Administration also made historic investments in communities across the nation—urban, suburban, rural, and Tribal alike. Through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, roads, bridges, airports, railways, broadband infrastructure, and water systems were modernized and expanded. The CHIPS and Science Act helped revitalize American manufacturing and strengthen domestic semiconductor production.
President Biden entered office determined to build an Administration that looked like America. He served as Vice President to the nation’s first Black President. He served as President alongside the nation’s first Black woman Vice President. For his entire career, President Biden has been at the center of the great American story of expanding opportunity and making real the promise of America for everyone.
