In November 1972, Joe Biden made headlines as the 29-year-old lawyer who pulled offagainst Sen. Caleb Boggs to represent Delaware in the Senate -- one of the youngest people ever elected to the body. But it was a different headline a month after the election that would forever change his life:"Biden's wife, child killed in car crash."
"I was down in Washington hiring staff and I got a phone call from a first responder. They put a pretty young woman on the phone. She was so nervous, she said, 'You gotta come home. There's been an accident. A tractor trailer hit your wife and your three children while they were shopping,'" Biden recalled at a campaign event in Newton, Iowa, last August.
"My wife was killed and my daughter was killed," he continued."And my two boys, but for the jaws of life, and a rescue crew saving their life, would not have been around either." Friday morning, on the 48th anniversary of the accident, the president-elect refrained from public events, instead visiting the graves of his late wife, Neilia, and daughter, Naomi, at Brandywine Roman Catholic Church with his wife, Jill, near his home in Wilmington, Delaware.The anniversary comes, as it did in 1972, as Biden is preparing for a new role in public life -- this time the presidency. The role caps off a lifetime in politics that almost ended before it began.
Despite his initial unwillingness to serve, Biden remained in the Senate and public life, turning his grief into a way to connect with others through empathy -- a trait that has perhaps most defined his career.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.TIME FOR THE USA TO GO BACK TO WORK.. YES WE ALL KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.. BUT THE POLITICIANS MAKE IT HARD WHEN THEY ARE HYPOCRITS.. !! S😎✌️THEY PICK AND CHOOSE THE ONES THEY WANT TO KEEP OPEN AND THOSE THEY WANT OUT OF BUSINESS!! SO OBVIOUS🧐🤓
Its all about skin color to democrats SHALLOW!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited to have a native American in charge of the dept of Interior. Especially because that means the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) which manages our Wild Mustangs will now be under her supervision and hopefully we can have better management that protects them.
Humanizing and humbling the political system...to rid the unethical and greed...
You need to check your damn privilege when you start accusing people of not being qualified because of their race or gender.
DIvERsitY...
I’m a proud New Mexican
We can only hope you are nominated to do the good work you will do!
Good for diversity
Diversity is great!! But we also need qualified people!! So hopefully his choices are accomplishing both!
What is the democratic obsession with diversity? Why not focus on their qualifications not their background? You are under cutting them.
It's good to know you're not hiring people based on skill sets
🦗🦗 B I D E N C H E A T E D
He just a puppet, will resign soon due to his family scandal
It should be to most qualified not the most ethic!
Mam! Congratulations! CNN : I heard your emotional speech! All the Best!
I'm Cherokee and Christian..spiritual to the core and I want to tell you the democratic party are the Luciferian party ..mark of the best
That’s great! Diversity definitely helps to encourage young people from diverse backgrounds to be involved in politics, even if that means just paying attention to what the corrupt oligarchy is doing... would like to see some more diversity in ideology though.🧐
Always comforting to know your skills and capability are your most rewarded and celebrated traits.
She has a Juris Doctorate in Indian Law but never passed the New Mexico State Bar, I wonder why?
Because she is in there, she thinks it's diverse... She must regards herself as a person instead as ancestors.
I think this is awesome. The REAL United States citizens, the Native Americans, on charge. Their right by blood. More than anyone else.
absolutely wonderful to see such diversity in this administration ... should always be this way !
Diverse cabinet = Identity Politics filling positions based solely on their Identity.
JoeBiden KamalaHarris
horrible
Yeah well how many transgender Inuits has he appointed?!!!
I LOVE HER SO MUCH
Yay! Finally, someone who believes in protecting Unci Maka.
Does diversity Create strength?
The position of the Secretary of the Interior should be abolished. We only need one department to run this country. The Department of Amazon.
ForceTheVote M4A
Lol.
No one cares about gender or identity or skin color. ARE THEY HONEST AND ARE THEY QUALIFIED?
New batteries and Viagra overdose do wonders
Well that should magically solve everything!!
Hope the percentages are exact. 13% black, 50% women, .1% trans etc etc Hahahah. What a clown show.
Oh, dementia joe. Nap time.
Why is saying 'people of color' ok to say but the N word is not? They both apply to the black race. Doesn't equality mean no reference as to race? And what does color or gender have to do with being qualified to do the job? It doesn't but that doesn't matter, Only VOTES matter
Did they out a green screen in your Gitmo cell yet so you can carry on with this charade?
A TRANSVESTITE FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Since when does ones race or gender or sexual orientation alone, qualify someone for a cabinet position of the President of the United States ?
Identity politics at it's best. To hell with who is the most qualified. People of color & sex will determine if you get a job in the Biden administration.
Not my President ever
So Obama cabinet was racist?
Don't care what's between their legs or the color of their skin. I care about what policies they support. Identity politics makes me sick.
Maybe I’m going crazy. But why does he look cgi like a video game?
Biden stole this election
If you have to people of color than chances are the were not the best pic just one of color.
And he has to be re introduced to them daily because he cant remember thier names I bet.
Optics over qualifications. Good strategy Joe.
If only I could remember who they are!
Who cares if their qualified, ☑️the color box.
This guy sounds racist and sexist. Picking people based on sex and color, instead of who is best qualified. What a joke! Next!
Taps into the best as long as the best is found in a category...best woman, best Indian, best Native American...America is failed and will never heal.
Who. Cares.
Only racists care about policy
Good job
Racist and FakeNews
The racist left working hard at it again
I love what I am hearing. weedabus
How many pedophiles besides yourself are letting in ?you already have a drunken Indian with 3 confirmed diu's. You're a disgusting person
Great we have a diverse cabinet but did you hire the best people
Is this another joke Are these people capable? Once again, we called this
Don’t care what color they are. Be sure they are qualified and the best person for the job.
I definitely think “people of color” Is derogatory reference, a fact which that is ignored. they should be referred to by their ethnicities
It's bedtime for OldJoe. 🥱
A very diverse selection of corporate board rooms!
Who gives a shit? Are they any good?
Hey Joe. How about the best people, period. Stop the BS.
Racist
This moron is a tool.. not elected but fraud has put him where he is. Good job on this piece of political garbage! Can we put him in the trash already?
Did you sniff them yet
Its about damned time
Biden is a Fraud
Racist and sexist to base decisions on race and sex
It’s another corrupt and swamp filled cabinet just like Trumps, Obama’s, Bush’s,etc.. same old same old. Another admin beholden to wall street, fossil fuel companies, health insurance companies, pharma companies, defense contractors, etc etc
Biden your nothing but a PUPPET
Get the most qualified people no matter what their race.
His cabinet looks like a lineup of white collar criminals.
Sure
Jobs are about ability, not race or gender
just performative stuff that covers for lack of policies for the working class
Biden is not Presidential
If Joe blow is the best of America, and his clowns, we are doomed.
Cabinet members are supposed to be chosen on the basis of merit rather than color and race
Taps into what makes America great..... it’s Diversity!! Ok, America let’s get to work! 2021 the year of Hope & Victory!
Are any actually qualified? Or are we just trying to meet DEI mandates?
Mark Meadows is sealed in American History by telling the Nation that Trump’s administration will do nothing TO SLOW DOWN THE SPREAD to of Coronavirus. We are at 323,404 US Deaths, future historians will look back at this key point in time & ask what compelled them to do nothing.
Biden’s body looks decayed
JoeBiden AliMayorkas The most important - will this cabinet WORK to solve people’s problems? Will it ACT swiftly to stop wrongdoing? To INVESTIGATE racist behaviour of US government employees? Will it provide closure and relief?
How about quality
Ok so African Americans are now supposed to say we are all good now. No need for justice and police reform until the next election
It'll never happen.
What a guy.
.... and at the same time making sure rural America goes unrepresented
Biden opened the door for China,congratulations 😂😂😂😂
America colors are White, Red & Blue!
more people from mckinsey than ever too diversity and representation matters!
I went from being broke, homeless, and suicidal, to making $25k per month. My message to you is DO NOT GIVE UP! Even when all seems impossible. I STILL work a regular job on top of my investment because I’m scared to death to be homeless again. All thanks to 🙏 lisaMakT
maga GoTrump
More than 40 lobbyists are in Biden administration, no other candidate received more money than Joe Biden. He is all set to change nothing, Wall Street is going to continue its war on middle class Americans, outsourcing jobs and paying minimum wages
History in the making... Heads down ignore the noise..and it will be great!!!
JoeBiden “people of color” seriously! Stop pandering! Should’ve just said diversity!!
Now you have to get those 2 Senate seats in Georgia so you can pass these Bill's so people can pay their bills and eat! Wake up people!!
Fantasy Cabinet 🤣🤣🤣
You can add me lol I’m a common.
How can it be the best of America when it is based on gender and race?
Clown. But refuses to return BLM calls. Big time for the undeserved huh? 50 years of racist policies. Amazing minorities fall for this every 4 years.
Oh, please!
Biden is the most RACIST and LYING person in the world. He can’t choose a side and stay on topic!
Canada 🇨🇦 did the same what a fn mess we are in with our Liberal government. Good luck America 🇺🇸
😂😂😂😂😂
Who cares? His Welfare,Tax & Immigration Plans R going 2 be shot down 4 the next 4 yrs. A total waste of time & Votes. If he thinks he's going 2 destroy the country by letting in 20 million beggars fr SAmerica-he's crazy. The Crime Rate would B insane. Drug dlrs on evry corner.
I can’t stand to hear his voice just like I couldn’t stand Clinton’s and Obama’s
ITS ALL FANTASY!!! BIDEN WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT!!!!
If it looked like America, only 13 percent of your cabinet would be black. Math is hard, isn't it Joe?
JoeBiden 's Cabinet: A true democracy which I really miss in Europe. Every tribe, color is represented inside the Cabinet. Thank you Mr President elect.
Meritocracy is dead. Identity Olympic is in full swing.
And none of them are qualified to do their jobs
I don’t care what race or gender you are. Hire the most qualified!!!
Demographics should not be a determining factor in any government position, it should be qualification based on if they are the best person of the job
Does it look like America? How many in his cabinet own a holster?
It is our differences that make us strong. It is our ability to listen to each other and be willing to compromise, to come to a mutual understanding, in order to find the best path forward. If we as a country can’t do this than I fear for America’s future.
The China controlled Bloomberg/DNC has played the Left like a flute. TrumpTrance
每个人都知道乔和他的儿子在做什么
Why is it you only care about their race? People should be defined by their values and accomplishments, not what they look like!
It doesn’t matter what color or gender just do us right
Forget about our qualifications, we’ve got all the pc boxes checked!
STOP JUDGING PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR SKIN COLOR YOU RACIST FUCKS
tl;dr for those who don't want to listen to the racist pedophile ramble, he added some women and 'people who can be just as smart and talented as white people' to his cabinet.
Great! What do you want? A medal. This was long overdue
Bravo! 💖💕 God Speed! 💖💕
Nothing about what they can do, only pigment and chromosomes.
But can they do the job?!?!
Effodo6r12 lol what we where talking about yesterday
Joe traded his mom's cow for some magic beans.
Is white not a colour?
Good to know he’s hiring people based on their skin color, gender and sexuality instead of qualifications. Great job.
Where’s Hunter?
And every last one of them is a neoliberal rightwinger
No. It looks like a cabinet of swamp Marxists. This social justice bullshit is just that....bullshit. Kamal Harris couldn’t get 1% IN HER OWN STATE. Besides...take a look at Trump’s cabinet sometime. You won’t.
Old news. Stop repeating.
What an absolute tosser 🙄
You are no good for USA
BORING.... I don't care your race or gender. Can you do the job? That is all that matters.
Really? Why not just black or?
A racist trying to prove he’s not a racist
How many homeless in his cabinet?
Thank you Mr. President!
Beside every good man...is a good woman😍😍
Drug War Joe has colored magic beans that will grow a vine all the way to the giant's house in the sky.
So many sheep wearing masks in these comments 🤦♀️
I call fake news. No such office!
LauraLAbythesea The first real Native American finally has been nominated for a cabinet position in the United States Government. How, you like that GOP!
Was Biden sworn in under the cover of darkness
An amazing woman! She will make us proud!
Who would turn it down, when the election exercise was free,fair and transparent to all sober minded. Cong's.
RicardoWinters8 Congratulations! It’s about time!
Pfft. Trump is your President
reilyseanconn You all think come January Biden is going to be in office. AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. trump is going to do whatever it takes to make sure he himself is still in office. I am pissed that the gov't of the USA has done jack shit in four years except to aid and abet donald trump in his BS
I am crying right now. It’s a good day.😌
Getting a job based solely on race and gender is the definition of racism and sexism. I guess as long as it goes the other way, is OK with it because the DNC sets their news agenda.
I have liked all of Biden/Harris nominees but I particularly love this one. Well done. JoeBiden KamalaHarris

Ms_Rebecca This is the beginning of America facing the truth about the genocidal chapter in its history. It's a small but historic step on that journey of reconciliation and actually implementing tangible, meaningful action.
Congratulations Deb! I know you will do great things for this country and others! :)
TrueFactsStated While the GOP is letting realDonaldTrump attack our democracy and allow Russian cyber attacks, this is what JoeBiden is doing.
We are honored to have you.
My month paycheck was for 1500 dollars… All i did was simple online work from comfort at home for 3-4 hours/day that I got from this agency I discovered over the internet and they paid me for it 95 bucks every hour.Go to this site home media tech tab for more details thanks you....
TrueFactsStated I can't think of anyone more appropriate for the job than DebHaalandNM. Kudos to her and to Biden for selecting her as our next Secretary of Interior.
Such a relief to Hear Leaders with sincere compassion, and Humbleness
I get paid more than $120 to $130 per hour for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this i have earned easily $15k from this without having online working skills. This is what I do.... Www.Jobcash1.com
Terrible
BIDEN GUILTY EVIDENCE: Eyewitness, Emails, Audio BIDEN IS GUILTY! ADULTEROUS KAMALA Chosen for her Gender&Color! Accused Biden of Rape metoo KAMALA NOT QUALIFIED! Biden WILL Pack Courts!Biden’s tax reform INCREASES TAXES on 82% of Americans! Biden KILLS ENERGY JOBS! No Warren?
TrueFactsStated She’s going to be amazing!
Brought tears to my eyes. A wonderful pick by JoeBiden!!
Her voice breaking made me cry omg I’m so happy for you DebHaalandNM !!!
Focus on ABILITY instead of RACE/SEX! WOULD you turn DOWN an excellent surgeon with the ability needed JUST BECAUSE the doctor is MALE and WHITE?! shortsighted ASININE
If I hear diversity again I’ll scream what’s wrong with people
Hmmm they pay the white man's taxes, drink the white man's alcohol, buy the white man's guns, and live domesticated. 🙄
Guess again Trump already has that and your not getting in Trump is already won stop adding people your going to lose anyway January 6th
Cabinet looks like shit
Other than being a Native American, what are her qualifications
I have nana respect nor trust for Joe and his admin. We will not acknowledge that man as anything but a loser, crook, pedophile,treasonous, cheater. Etc. How in the heck did he become a candidate for the the election? What? Oh they cheated by rigging the election. I thought so.
That's all very well and good but can they actually do the jobs they are being given ?
Looking for the most talented or experienced people in their own fields would look for the 'best of America.' Hiring a transportation secretary with no transportation experience just because he endorsed you and has a minority sexual preference is not how we do that...
Cheaters get no respect.
HiHowAreYa HiHowAreYa
❤
BRAVO......the American cabinet
when you give someone a job based on their ethnicity,rather than their experience....liberals
That fantastic as long as they are qualified gender race national origin is secondary qualification are first n I pray that is the case 🙏🏻
So, he built a cabinet based on sex and color of the sking, not by capacities, skills, knowledge, or professionalism! That's a mediocre Givernmental Cabinet. Typical of leftist minds, only the last of the lists and the average of all are in decision making positions. Ok....
Right. Instead of competent people of both sexes and various ethnic backgrounds, let’s just go for white family members, wealthy heavy political donors, and people with absolutely no idea of what they’re supposed to do.
You’re right. You were picked because of skin color.
Woke woke
They just put people in their position because they were a POC or a woman. In the Biden Administration it will be about aesthetics over substance. He doesn't want the best, just the appearance that he's doing his part for 'equality' 🤣👌
The racist democrat party selects members by color & gender. Never mind qualifying attributes.
Congratulations. Proud for this moment to have finally come.
I Sobbed as she spoke. Living with our History Every Day... signed Indigenous
HAY JOE, WHAT ABOUT ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS ?
America is 60% White and 65% Christian. Is your cabinet? Then don't say it looks like America, say you're pandering to small demographic groups.
Beautiful.
well color me stupid.💩
It will be historic, historically bad!!
You are the visible good in 2020.
You won't be our president in a couple of days things will start to shift in my presidents way and by the way you stole the election go ask your doctor wife lol
Wow - wonderful words Rep Haaland! Very best wishes for your work, from Australia.
They are elect yet!
Part of Biden’s A Team
Who the hell told the media to go ahead and have these ongoing hosting when litigations of Election frauds still going on, Soros? he does not own the country! People of the US own it.
Hey naysayers, these people ARE the most qualified. Just because they’re not white and/or male you want to question their qualifications? SMDH
If you, Harris and the rest of your cabinet picks are the best of America, we are doomed.
And just like that the FLU AND RACISM IS ERASED
This is the most bias, bigotry, racist statement made blatantly by the biggest Racist ever ! No skills required. Just need right skin color and gender your just a QUOTA person.

Mexicans are not Native American. Biden is a traitor.
Congratulations!!!
This is the one appointment that truly brought tears to my eyes. How wonderful this is!
Big love.
Diversity is a thing but diversity should be based on meritocracy, otherwise the country will be destroyed by your cabinet, Joe.
This future cabinet looks more like a local school board.
If you liked train sets as a kid you can be transportation secretary.
Reminder: this is your guy
That's great. But how about you say you appointed the most qualified people for their positions. This is straight pandering.
JoeBiden It's not so much about who is in your administration or what they look like. It's all about what you do to help or harm the country. So far with your nominations, especially Becerra & Rice, I see nothing but harm.
And just like that, it's all about race.
Is this just an American thing or do other countries leaders pick people based on their race as well?
Why pick people on the content of their character when you can pick them for their color or sex.
Only mainstream media and JoeBiden and company see color and sex. They exploit it at every turn.
It does not look like America, but like UN.
I’m offended . I do not want to be called the colored women in HR . Lol . Say my name .
Qualified need not apply...Ol’ Sleepy Joe going to be the feel good guy with identity appointments ONLY! So just SHUT the hell up...we stole the election fair & square right out from under your nose an you never saw it coming! LoL ... to the bank!
Literally like every large corp out there. Just filling positions for diversity and for show. But since this is the highest office in the country, shouldn't you be looking for qualified members instead of just filling for political reasons?
How brave
Multiculturelle
Even Facebook has him listed as a politician. Check your facts please
This racist JoeBiden is saying cabinet positions held by 'people of color' (read NOT Foundational Black Americans/Descendants of American Slaves) means anything more than a career boost for those few people. THOSE APPOINTMENTS ARE NOT REPARATIONS FOR HARM DONE TO BLACKS.
Dream on. Not happening.
I look forward to the day when we judge people specifically by their gender and skin color, and not by the content of their character

I think they might have better luck trying to adapt to the climate rather than trying to change it.
Please spare us
They will never. Ever. Be my president/vp. Ever.
What about more corrupt GOVERNORS. The one use the system to get SELF BENEFITS!! Doing bussiness with CHINA while Oregonians suffers. I am so sad to see our Beautiful Of Portland like a trust can!!😠😢
Kamala will resign ? When ?
Who, AOC? 😆
Harris Biden corrupt and fraudulent
President elect claim is disputed
I wouldn’t trust these 2 guys with my car keys.... 😏
FightForTrump
Dec. 19, 2020: As of today, we received $4.48/day to get through this pandemic. That's 448 pennies per day.
If Joe thinks crackhead Hunter is the smartest man he’s ever met it should show you what his mental state is 🤡🤡
