He supports regulation instead of a complete ban on fracking.
In early 2020, Biden promised he would pick a woman as his running mate.
He also promised that his first Supreme Court appointment would be a black woman.
In August 2020, he picked California U.S. Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate.
On November 3, 2020, FiveThirtyEight's statistical model projected that Biden had a 89% chance to defeat Donald Trump.
He defeated Trump in the general election after officially being projected as the winner on November 7, 2020.
With more than 81 million votes, Biden received the most votes ever cast for a candidate in a U.S. presidential election.
He became the second non-incumbent vice president to be elected president, and the first Democrat to do so.
He is also expected to become the oldest president at the time of inauguration, as well as the first president from Delaware.
At first, General Services Administrator Emily W. Murphy did not want to acknowledge Biden as the winner of the 2020 election.
On November 23, however, she formally recognized Biden as the apparent winner of the 2020 election and authorized the start of a transition process to the Biden administration.
In late December 2020, Biden received his first dose of the Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in Delaware.
He returned for his second dose in early January 2021.
First 100 days
Biden was inaugurated shortly before noon on January 20, 2021 as the 46th president of the United States.
At 78, he is the oldest person to become president.
He is the second Catholic president (after John F. Kennedy) and the first president whose home state is Delaware.
In his first two days as president, Biden signed 17 executive orders, more than most recent presidents did in their first 100 days.
Biden signed more executive orders than any other president since Franklin D. Roosevelt had in their first month in office.
His first actions were rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, ending the state of national emergency at the border with Mexico, rejoining the World Health Organization, a 100-day mandatory face mask requirements on federal property and acts to stop hunger in the United States.
His presidency has been focused around his Build Back Better Plan agenda.
On March 11, 2021, the first anniversary of COVID-19 being declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus relief package.
The package included direct payments to most Americans, an extension of increased unemployment benefits, funds for vaccine distribution and school reopenings, support for small businesses and state and local governments, and expansions of health insurance subsidies and the child tax credit.
Biden tried to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, but removed it from the stimulus package after criticism from both parties.
In March 2021, when there was an increase in migrants coming to the United States from Mexico, Biden told migrants: "Don't come over."
He said that the U.S. was arranging a plan for migrants to "apply for asylum in place", without leaving their original locations.
In the meantime, migrant adults "are being sent back", Biden said, in reference to the continuation of the Trump administration's Title 42 policy for quick deportations.
Biden earlier announced that his administration would not deport unaccompanied migrant children and told the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help take care of children separated at the border.
On March 23, 2021, all of his cabinet members were confirmed by the United States Senate.
Biden is the first president since Ronald Reagan in 1981 to have all of his original Cabinet secretary nominees confirmed to their posts.
Two days later, Biden announced that he would run for re-election in the 2024 election.
Rest of 2021
On April 22–23, Biden held an international climate summit at which he announced that the US would cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 50%–52% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels.
On April 28, 2021, Biden addressed the United States Congress in his State of the Union Address.
Presiding over this joint session was the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and the Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris as President of the Senate ― the first time two women preside over an address to Congress.
On June 17, Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, which officially declared Juneteenth a federal holiday.
Juneteenth is the first new federal holiday since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was declared a holiday in 1986.
In July 2021, when not many people were getting their COVID-19 vaccine and the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant, Biden said that the country has "a pandemic for those who haven’t gotten the vaccination".
He also criticized the increase of COVID-19 misinformation on social media, saying it was "killing people".
By early July 2021, most of the American troops in Afghanistan were leaving or had left.
On August 15, during an offensive by the Taliban, the Afghan government collapsed.
Biden reacted by ordering 6,000 American troops to help the evacuation of American personnel and Afghan allies.
He has been criticized for the way he handled the withdrawal.
He defended his decision to withdraw, saying that Americans should not be "dying in a war that Afghan forces are not willing to fight for themselves", since the "Afghan military collapsed [against the Taliban], sometimes without trying to fight".
In August 2021, the Biden administration pushed for an infrastructure bill that can reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of the United States by 45% by 2030.
He would also support lowering taxes for people who invest in renewable energy and electric vehicles and would add a fee on methane emissions.
The Senate passed a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, while the House, also in a bipartisan manner, approved that bill in early November 2021, covering infrastructure related to transport, utilities, and broadband.
Biden signed the bill into law in mid-November 2021.
In the start of 2022, Biden's approval ratings were low.
He started speaking more in public.
In January, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer said he would retire from the Supreme Court.
Breyer's retirement gave Biden his first chance to nominate a justice to the Supreme Court.
Biden had promised to nominate the court's first black female justice.
On February 25, Biden nominated D.C. Appeals Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to replace Breyer.
On 24 February, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In response, Biden announced economic sanctions on Russia and Putin.
Allegations of physical misconduct
There have been many photographs of Biden hugging, kissing, and touching women and/or children in what commentators said to be inappropriate.
Biden has said that the behavior had got him in trouble in the past.
In March 2019, former Nevada assemblywoman Lucy Flores said that Biden kissed her without consent at a 2014 campaign rally in Las Vegas.
Flores wrote that Biden walked up behind her, put his hands on her shoulders, smelled her hair, and kissed the back of her head.
In an interview with HuffPost, Flores stated she believed Biden's behavior should force him not to run in 2020.
By early April 2019, a total of seven women had made such allegations regarding Biden.
In April 2019, former Biden staffer Tara Reade said that she had felt uncomfortable many times when Biden touched her on her shoulder and neck while working in his Senate office in 1993.
In March 2020, Reade said Biden had pushed her against a wall and penetrated her while on Capitol Hill in 1993.
Biden denied the allegations.
While in college, he married his first wife, Nelia Hunter.
They had three children: two sons (Beau and Robert) and a daughter (Naomi).
After college, he became a lawyer and served on a County Council, a group of people who run a county.
In 1972, Biden's family got into a car accident.
Nelia and Naomi were killed, and Beau and Robert were hurt very badly.
Both survived the accident.
Beau was the Attorney General in Delaware until January 2015 and served as a soldier in Iraq.
Beau died from brain cancer on May 30, 2015 in Bethesda, Maryland at the age of 46.
Biden thought of resigning as vice president because of his son's death.
Biden married his second wife, Jill Tracy Jacobs Biden, in 1977.
She is a teacher and the former Second Lady of the United States.
In 1981, they had a daughter, Ashley, who is now a social worker.
In 1988, Biden suffered from bleeding in his brain and needed brain surgery twice.
Because of what he saw in his family and neighborhood, Biden does not drink alcohol.
In February 1988, Biden had surgery to help heal a brain aneurysm.
While recuperating, he had a pulmonary embolism and recovered a few months later.
In November 2020, while playing with his two dogs Champ and Major, he suffered a stress fracture in his foot and was hospitalized.
Biden lives just outside of Wilmington, Delaware and often goes there on the weekends since becoming president.
Biden got the Chancellor Medal from his alma mater, Syracuse University, in 1980.
In 2005, he got the George Arents Pioneer Medal—Syracuse's highest alumni award—"for excellence in public affairs."
In 2008, Biden got the Best of Congress Award, for "improving the American quality of life through family-friendly work policies," from Working Mother magazine.
Also in 2008, Biden shared with fellow Senator Richard Lugar the Hilal-i-Pakistan award from the Government of Pakistan, "in recognition of their consistent support for Pakistan."
In 2009, Biden got The Golden Medal of Freedom award from Kosovo, that region's highest award, for his vocal support for their independence in the late 1990s.
In 2017, during his final days as president, Barack Obama awarded Biden the Presidential Medal of Freedom with distinction.

Mélodie is the French word for “melody”.
The word is used in music to mean songs written by French composers of classical music from the mid-19th century to the present.
The mélodie in French music is similar to the Lied in German music. "
Mélodie" is not the same as chanson (the French word for “song”).
The word "chanson" is used for folksongs or popular songs.
In Germany composers of classical music had been writing great songs from about 1800, but in France the mélodie became important about 50 years later.
While some German Lieder were based on folksong, the texts of the mélodies were usually poems by serious poets.
Hector Berlioz was the first composer to call some of his compositions mélodies.
His Les Nuits d'Été (1841) is one of the greatest of all song cycles.
Charles Gounod wrote about 200 mélodies.
He used texts by famous poets such as Hugo.
Gabriel Fauré wrote more than 100 mélodies, many based on poems by Verlaine.
Henri Duparc wrote seventeen mélodies.
These are what he is known for.
Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel were very famous composers who wrote a lot of music, including mélodies that are often sung today.
Ravel’s melodies are unusual because they are often based on folksong.
Other composers of mélodie at the time include Albert Roussel, Reynaldo Hahn and André Caplet.
Mélodies continue to be composed today, though perhaps the last really popular composer of them was Francis Poulenc, who died in 1963.
Performing mélodies
In the French mélodie the poet’s feelings are often suggested or hinted at rather than stated in an obvious way.
There is a very close relationship between the text (words) and the melody.
To sing mélodie really well a singer must know the French language very well and understand a lot about French poetry.
The rules about singing in the French language can be quite complicated.
It is important to know when to let the last sound of a word run into the next word (elision).
Several books have been written about this.
Although many famous singers are well known for singing French mélodie, the most famous singer from the past was Pierre Bernac.
He gave many song recitals with the composer Francis Poulenc who accompanied him on the piano.
He wrote a book on how to sing mélodies.

The Nashville Sounds are a minor league baseball team from Nashville, Tennessee.
They play at the Triple-A (AAA) level, the most difficult level before Major League Baseball, against other baseball teams in the Triple-A East (a group of 20 baseball teams at the same level).
The Sounds are partnered with the Milwaukee Brewers, a Major League Baseball team.
When a player shows that he plays well at this level, he may be moved up to play for the Brewers.
The Sounds played at a stadium called Herschel Greer Stadium from 1978 to 2014.
In 2015, the Sounds began to play at a new stadium called First Horizon Park.
The Sounds started playing baseball in 1978 in the Southern League, which is at the Double-A (AA) level, two levels before Major League Baseball.
They were partnered with the Cincinnati Reds (1978–1979) and New York Yankees (1980–1984).
The Sounds won the championship of the Southern League in 1979 and 1982.
In 1985, the Sounds began to play at the Triple-A level in a league called the American Association.
While playing in this league, they were partnered with the Detroit Tigers (1985–1986), Cincinnati Reds (1987–1992), and Chicago White Sox (1993–1997).
The American Association ended after the 1997 season, so the Sounds started playing in the Pacific Coast League in 1998.
They were partners with the Pittsburgh Pirates (1998–2004), Milwaukee Brewers (2005–2014), Oakland Athletics (2015–2018), and Texas Rangers (2019–2020).
The Sounds won the championship of the Pacific Coast League in 2005.
Major League Baseball reorganized Minor League Baseball before the 2021 season.
The Pacific Coast League was ended, and the Sounds began playing in the Triple-A East in 2021.
They also became partners with the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Sounds' first ballpark was Herschel Greer Stadium.
They played baseball games there from 1978 to 2014.
There were many changes to the ballpark after it was completed in 1978.
It had seats for 10,300 spectators.
Its best known feature was its giant 115.6 foot (35.2 m) scoreboard which was behind the left field wall and shaped like a guitar.
After the construction of new and luxurious minor league ballparks in the 1990s, Greer had fallen below standards set for Triple-A stadiums by professional baseball.
Therefore, there were several repairs and upgrades made to meet Triple-A standards until a new stadium could be built.
Greer Stadium was demolished in 2019.
In 2014, the Sounds and the city of Nashville agreed on a plan to build a new baseball stadium for the team.
The Sounds began playing baseball at the new stadium, called First Horizon Park, in 2015.
It has space for 10,000 spectators.
There are 8,500 seats, and there is a spot of grass where 1,500 others can sit.
It also has a guitar-shaped scoreboard.

LS-120 or SuperDisk is a high-speed, high-capacity alternative to the 90 mm (3.5 in), 1.44 MB floppy disk.
It is called High density media.
The main advantage when compared to FDD and ZD is the possibility to use the united mechanism for these special diskettes even for FDD and ZD.
This SuperDisk was introduced by Iomega in 1995 as ZD.
But the SuperDisks were not expanded because of slowness and unreliability in comparison with ZD.
SuperDisk 120MB Diskettes may still be available in the marketplace, however are no longer warranted.
We do not have information about where these products can be purchased.
SuperDisk diskettes are etched with a servo pattern at the factory.
This pattern is then read by the SuperDisk drive to precisely align the read/write head.
The result is that a SuperDisk diskette can have 2,490 tracks, as opposed to the 160 tracks that conventional 3.5-inch 1.44 MB diskettes use.
Unlike other removable disk storage solutions, such as the Zip drive, SuperDisk is backward compatible with older diskettes.
This means that the same SuperDisk drive can be used to read and write to older 1.44 MB diskettes as well as the new 120 MB SuperDisk diskettes.
Here are some current data storage and backup technologies that Imation supplies for a variety of customer needs.
A combination of backup media may be the best course; for instance, backing up currently used files to Flash Drives or Micro Drives, and keeping seldom used files on DVD or CD.that snapbacks are back.
