The nation is grieving the loss of former President Joseph R. “Joe” Biden Jr., who passed away peacefully at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, with family by his side. He was 81.
The family hasn’t released a formal cause of death yet, but close sources say it was due to natural causes after a long life dedicated to public service.
Biden’s career spanned more than five decades. He first made his name as a U.S. Senator from Delaware, then served two terms as Vice President under Barack Obama, and ultimately became our 46th President from 2021 to 2025. He was widely respected for his resilience, empathy, and his ability to connect with everyday Americans.
During his presidency, he guided the country through the COVID-19 pandemic, helped rebuild the economy, and pushed major investments in infrastructure and climate action—leaving behind a legacy of steady, compassionate leadership.
