Joe Biden
Role
46th President of the United States (2021-2025); Democrat; defeated Trump in the 2020 election
Background
Joseph R. Biden Jr. is an American politician who served as the 46th President of the United States from 2021 to 2025 and as Vice President from 2009 to 2017 under Barack Obama. A Democrat, he defeated Donald Trump in the 2020 election, the result Trump and his allies sought to overturn. Trump’s first impeachment in 2019 arose from his attempt to pressure Ukraine to investigate Biden and his son Hunter Biden, and a fabricated bribery allegation against the Bidens by FBI informant Alexander Smirnov later fueled Republican impeachment efforts against Biden.
