The Democratic nominee for President speaks about the values instilled in him by his parents and how they shaped him, why he got into politics in the first place, and the marked changes he’s seen in Washington and the American electorate in recent years.
Joe Biden, the Democratic nominee for President, has been a major fixture in politics for nearly half a century, since his election to the Senate in 1972. In the fall of 2017, the former Vice President came to the LBJ Presidential Library, where he spoke about the values instilled in him by his parents and how they shaped him, why he got into politics in the first place, and the marked changes he’s seen in Washington and the American electorate in recent years.
This conversation took place on October 3, 2017, at the LBJ Presidential Library, as part of the Tom Johnson Lecture Series.
