Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, currently serving his sixth term in the U.S. Senate, believes that “the next Democratic leader has to challenge the American people, tell them the truth, and trust them.”
As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, Biden has helped create a strategy to stop President Bush from sending more troops to Iraq and has also developed a detailed plan to bring the troops home without leaving mass destruction.
Ending the war is one of the issues Biden’s campaign highlights. Other areas he supports are enacting universal health care, empowering women to take charge and creating greater accessibility to higher education.

Through understanding the demands for a “highly educated workforce,” Biden created the college ACCESS Plan that will allow middle class families to afford college tuition by creating a $3,000 refundable tax credit, equal to a $12,000 deduction; expand the maximum Pell grant from $4,000 to $5,000; and begin the college planning process when students are in eighth grade.

Even though Biden is not among the top three front-runners in the Democratic race, it is not too late to become informed about his policies. It is one way to make a solid decision when choosing whom to support in the upcoming election.
