Biden Would be Arguably the Most Experienced New President Ever By Kyle Kondik
He will run as the president who needs no training. But he may be the candidate who cannot be trained.
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE
— If Joe Biden wins the presidency, he will bring with him nearly a half-century of elected officeholding experience, giving him perhaps the fullest resume of public service possessed by any new president ever.
