The Penn Biden Center was a place for Joe Biden to land after he left the vice presidency in 2017. The think tank is now in the spotlight after classified documents were discovered there.
Sure enough, after hosting a handful of forums at the center and speaking a few times on the University of Pennsylvania’s main campus, Biden announced his candidacy in April 2019. And after that he was rarely at the Capitol Hill center, which has continued to function quietly since its namesake leader moved on.Congressional Republicans are asking questions about the center’s budget and hiring practices and, as it did Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware.
According to Biden’s tax returns, the university paid him roughly $900,000 over about two years, starting just after he left office when Donald Trump and Mike Pence took over the White House. In addition to the center, Biden also held roles at the school where he would speak on campus.
“It started as a parking space for Biden people until he ran for president, and never really outgrew that start,” Abrams said.
