  • How crisis and tragedy prepared Joe Biden to become America’s next president.
    This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: www.pbs.org/donate
    Joe Biden will take office at a moment of profound national crisis in a deeply divided country: In addition to the chaos of the Capitol attack and the undermining of the election by President Trump, approximately 400,000 Americans are dead from the coronavirus, and a reckoning over racism in the wake of George Floyd’s killing is ongoing.
    How will Biden navigate the substantial challenges that lie ahead? The documentary “President Biden” offers answers. In the film, those who know Biden best describe the searing moments that shaped the President-elect and what those challenges reveal about how he may govern a nation confronting multiple crises.
    The documentary is from veteran FRONTLINE filmmaker Michael Kirk, who with his team has made five installments of FRONTLINE’s election-year series The Choice and nearly 20 documentaries about the Trump and Obama eras.

    Skipping from the Clarence Thomas hearings (1991) to his 2007 presidential run missed key issues like his involvement in the 1994 Crime Bill and his vote for the Iraq war in 2002, which may offer prescience about his potential performance as President - a big omission. The documentary couldn't cite much in terms of accomplishments despite nearly 50 years in government, but catalogs his history of relentless ambition. I left this documentary feeling that Biden has much ambition but little capability and accomplishment.

      The real story is the typical journey of the average corrupt lifetime politician who has accomplished nothing except riding the coat-tails of the first black president to the Whitehouse... my bad, there was that 1994 crime bill that started the militarization of the police and really helped thrust black and brown mass incarceration to stunning new levels.

    Now that today is the big day for Joe Biden and Harris because of their inauguration in the White House, some Americans like myself and my aunt are happy about it. While other Americans are outraged and angry. But for me, I have no regrets of what I did. Voting for Biden and Harris. I'm sincerely hoping and praying that all the riots and violence will cease to exist and there'll be a peaceful transition. And to prove my point, I added the United States to my Rosary prayer list including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. And here's the prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi.
    "Lord, make me a instrument of your peace; where there is, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith;
    where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life."

Like how he got caught lying about how he marched for civil rights and had the endorsement of the NAACP when he tried to run in 87 and ended up dropping outta the presidential race because he got caught plagiarizing someones speech. Or how about when he called black men super predator’s when he got the 94 crime bill passes that locked up thousands of black people. His own VP called him a racist a little over a year ago and also said she believed and stood by the women that claimed they were sexually harassed by him in the 90’s.

    Some heartless people demeaning such a humble man here. Indeed, everyone's entitled to their opinions but the facts can be debated. However, as a parent of a special need 11 year old son, I'm just appalled by some of the harsh comments below. Politics aside, this man overcame obstacles early in his life to be where he is. I respect this man. God Bless you Sir

      For a lot, but I remember seeing the newspaper laid open on our dining table that my parents had left there, and the article about his family's accident. And I noted through the years when seeing him interviewed, thinking that he would probably make a good president. When Obama and he were voted in, I was very glad. He was a hard worker in that administration --and funny too!

    I didn't see the part about Mr. Lu coming to Beau's funeral. I almost cried at the part when Mr. Lu lost his son, and I'm tearing up again at what a wonderful act of kindness it was for Mr. Lu to come and offer comfort to President Biden. I almost lost my oldest child. It was a fear and overwhelming feeling of impending horror that I hope I never experience again. President Biden has had to deal with unimaginable grief in his life. He carries a lot of weight on his shoulders.
