Promises to Keep

Joe Biden

In March 1975, Joe Biden, then a two-year senator, went on his first date with Jill Jacobs, feeling an immediate connection that she did not initially share. At 24, Jill was nearly a decade younger, recently divorced, and uninterested in politics, making her hesitant about a future with Biden, who had two young sons. Despite rejecting five marriage proposals, Jill gradually fell in love, becoming a pivotal figure in Beau and Hunter Biden’s lives. Joe, needing clarity, issued an ultimatum, prompting Jill to realize she wanted to commit to their life together. They married in June 1977, embarking on a family honeymoon. Jill became a devoted stepmother and a steadfast supporter of Joe’s career, helping him confidently secure reelection for a second Senate term. This period solidified Biden’s reputation as a resilient leader, with his growing expertise in foreign affairs and national security catching the attention of Democrats who encouraged him to consider a presidential run.
