#shorts Joe Biden said, “My son, Beau Biden … He went to two universities. He went the University of Pennsylvania and Syracuse Law School. He ended up with a debt, because I had the dubious distinction of being listed as the “poorest man in Congress.” (Laughter.) I shouldn’t say this, but I’m going to tell you anyway. I got a call when — you know, when I’d be away campaigning for somebody, I’d call my wife in the morning before she took off to school, see how things were. And I called her one morning, and I was up in — up in the state of Vermont campaigning for Pat Leahy. And I said, “Hi, honey. How are you?” She said, “Fine.” Well, you know that’s a good start. (Laughter.) And she said, “Did you read today’s paper?” True story. “Did you read today’s paper?” — meaning the local Wilmington paper — Wilmington, Delaware. I said, “No, honey. I didn’t see it.” She said, “Headline, front page, top of the fold: ‘Biden: Poorest Man in Congress.’ Is that true?” (Laughter.) Well, I didn’t think you were supposed to make money when you’re in Congress. But at any rate — (applause). And I didn’t feel poor. No, no — and, by the way, I got elected when I was 29. I had no income. I mean, I had a little. I was just starting my law practice. And — and so — but I had a good salary as a senator. I thought that was just fine.”
