Former President Joe Biden has decided to build his presidential library in his home state of Delaware, and is set to start a fundraising push to fund the effort soon, according to a senior member of the Joe and Jill Biden Foundation.
The effort is expected to be a heavy lift, as presidential libraries carry hefty price tags totaling into the hundreds of millions of dollars. Biden will start fundraising later than his predecessors and the donor requests come as Democrats continue to grapple with their path forward and where to invest money.
The library will be a key part of efforts to burnish Biden’s legacy. Since leaving the White House, Biden, 82, has spent much of his post-presidency in Delaware but has only given a few public speeches.
In May, he began treatment for an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer that metastasized to his bones.
Biden’s team envisions constructing an “immersive museum” to recap his legacy and wants the library to become “a hub for leadership, service, and civic engagement.
“The project will serve as a vibrant and lasting space where history, learning, and civic leadership come together, inspiring future generations to lead with purpose, serve their communities, and strengthen our nation,” the senior member said.
The foundation recently approved a 13-member board of governance comprised of close allies and former administration officials. Rufus Gifford, a longtime Democratic fundraiser who served in the Biden and Obama administrations, will serve as board chair. Other notable members include former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, former Delaware Gov. Jack Markell, and Steve Ricchetti, former counselor to Biden.

A basement library? That would be a first.
Let’s see now...Red China’s surely in. Who else would want to contribute?
It will be a garage door front, with boxes of crap you can go through along the walls.
Oil stains from the Corvette will be there, but Hunter is selling that at his first opportunity.
With every presidential document now digitized, it would seem that the era of presidential libraries should be over.
They’re purchasing the phone booth across the street from his home for the library. The only thing it will be able to hold are his two auto-pen devices.
A couple of floppy disks would be enough regarding the professional fool.

Another toxic waste site
Filled with children’s Golden Books?
Don’t forget the photos of his burned-out kitchen where he and his cat almost died, memorabilia of his Uncle Ambrose being eaten by cannibals in New Guinea, the official record of Beau’s death in Iraq, the watch Joe wore and repeatedly looked at while the casket’s of the 13 Marines killed at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul were being transported, the bike he fell off, and the pedal clips that locked his feet in place, while riding in Gordon’s Pond State Park near Rehoboth, Delaware, the airplane stairs he fell twice going up on, the stage he tripped and fell on after handing out diplomas to Air Force Academy graduates, the special shoes made for Joe so he wouldn’t fall over, a replica of Hunter’s laptop, a duplicate of the bag of cocaine found in the White House, a replica of Hunter’s contract with Burisma, some of Hunter’s unsold paintings, receipts from the Secret Service for all the years they rented out a cottage on his Delaware property, a handful of his hair plugs, etc. Feel free to add on to the list.
Makes sense.
That’s where his garage with all his stolen classified documents is located.
The guy pardoned his family with 15 minutes left in his term.
Of course the primary source of funds will be the Ukraine and Barisma. They owe him big time . . .
