9:06Now PlayingAt age 76, former vice president Joe Biden would become the oldest person to win the presidency. But in 1972, he was a 29yearold upstart running to be the junior senator from Delaware, harnessing the same energy and folksy charm that would help make him one of the nation’s bestknown politicians. His career in Washington spans nearly half a century, and he has been at the center of some of the most controversial moments in modern political history, including the Anita Hill hearings, the passage of the 1994 crime bill and the runup to the Iraq War. As President Barack Obama’s number two, Biden worked with his former Senate colleagues to help pass major pieces of legislation and was an influential voice on foreign policy. Although he has experience on his side, his long record could be a liability in a Democratic Party that is reexamining its past and moving to the left. Subscribe to The Washington Post on YouTube
