Biden Burns Through Tax Dollars While Vacationing

By: Alec Donaldson | Last updated: Oct 27, 2023

President Joe Biden meticulously cultivated an image over several decades, positioning himself as a man of humble origins.

Hailing from the working-class city of Scranton, Pennsylvania, Biden consistently captivated audiences during every election cycle with accounts, albeit mostly inaccurate, of his modest upbringing.

Creating False Narratives

He narrated stories of a childhood marked by economic hardship, portraying himself as a self-made individual who rose from these challenging circumstances to achieve academic success, even though he graduated 76th out of 85 in his law school class at the University of Connecticut.

In the realm of politics, the potency of one’s image and how perceptions influence voters’ reality should never be underestimated.

The 2008 Election

While serving as a prominent member of the United States Senate, Biden frequently emphasized his status as the least affluent member of the Senate. He made these assertions as he campaigned alongside Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential election.

However, it’s important to consider such claims in a relative context.

Biden Was Quite Wealthy By The Time Of His 2020 Campaign

By the time Biden joined forces with Obama as his vice-presidential running mate, he and his family had accumulated substantial wealth.

When Biden concluded his tenure in office in 2017, his net worth had significantly increased. By the time of his successful 2020 presidential campaign, Biden could be described by ordinary middle-class standards as quite affluent.
