(581 posts)55. He was 40 years old when his dad became an international name
For the first 40 years of his life he was just another Senator's child. They all get a leg up because of it but the last name Biden was not a big deal pre-2009.

Your accusation of nepotism is false. Completely false. Why make the accusation if it isn't true?
