As with any politician in the limelight, people are constantly on the hunt to dig up information about President Joe Biden's past. As the 46th president of the United States, his every move draws attention, and the public is often interested to get rare glimpses into his everyday life.

President Biden's career started at a remarkably young age, with him assuming office as the seventh-youngest Senator in U.S. history at the age of 29. He has overcome intense personal tragedies, but he has persevered and succeeded throughout his political career. While the internet offers glimpses into aspects of the President's daily life, like his passion for cars or his love for his German shepherd, Major, many details remain private. However, President Biden has opened up about how he met his wife, Jill Jacobs, in a sweet story: his brother set them up on a blind date, and the rest is history—they decided to get married in 1977.

Photos and stories give a glimpse of the now silver-haired, aviator-wearing family man in his youth, from his teen years in Delaware to throwback pictures of him and Dr. Jill Biden. With the election year underway, L'OFFICIEL rounds up some of the best photos from Joe Biden's younger days.
