Biden’s planned return to Wilmington on Friday will mark the closing of an eight-year stint as vice president and a 36-year career as a U.S. senator.

Outgoing President Obama awarded a tearful Biden the Presidential Medal of Freedom last week.

After leaving office on Friday, Biden will work on foreign policy issues at the University of Pennsylvania, and is expected to continue his cancer “moonshot” through an organization called the Biden Trust.
