Biden Jr. said. "As a young lawyer, he worked to establish the rule of law in war-torn Kosovo. A major in the Delaware National Guard, he was an Iraq War veteran and was awarded the Bronze Star. As Delaware’s Attorney General, he fought for the powerless and made it his mission to protect children from abuse."  </p> <p>    </p><script id="5e2bd50d2be64735bd9c6970a280aeab">(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=9484058d-cb86-4c6b-b476-f5e62bd11798&cid=69ef7590-f88b-4a7b-b1ad-bbee64894f4f'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "9484058d-cb86-4c6b-b476-f5e62bd11798" }).render("5e2bd50d2be64735bd9c6970a280aeab"); });</script></p> <p> <a href="https://info.cqrollcall.com/NewMemberGuide2014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><br /> <strong>The 114th: CQ Roll Call's Guide to the New Congress</strong><br /> </a><br /> <strong><br /> <em>Get breaking news alerts and more from Roll Call <a href="https://www.rollcall.com/register/main.html?pos=rr" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">in your inbox</a> or <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/roll-call-news/id433753469?mt=8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">on your iPhone</a>.</em><br /> </strong> </p> <p></body> Recent Stories Senate Republicans detail farm aid package components Joke detector — Congressional Hits and Misses Virginia voters set to decide on new House map for the midterms The facts on the vaccines the CDC no longer recommends for all kids Venezuela is a lesson — Africa is a test of whether we learned from it Photos of the week | January 9-15, 2026
