Joe Biden is the 46th President of the United States (and incumbent as of 2021). He was sworn in on January 20, 2021, along with his running mate and incumbent Vice President, Kamala Harris. He loves trains, was an experienced Senator from 1973 to 2009, and served as VP under President Obama from 2009 to 2017. He defeated Donald Trump in the 2020 elections. He has ridden the Amtrak since his family had died in a car crash.
