I couldn’t remember the name of McGovern’s running mate, but I was pretty sure it wasn’t Biden. I was making a joking point about the way the first sentence of the article was worded. By wording it “In 1972 Sen. Joseph Biden, the Democrat nominee for vice President, ....” the author unwittingly implies that Biden was the VP nominee in 1972.
Sorry I didn’t word it to meet your approval.
Even though he is an old fart, I doubt that Joe Biden, Jr. was old enough to qualify for Vice-President in 1972.
