Early Senate Years

Within the Senate, Biden rose to the chairmanship of the powerful Judiciary and Foreign Relations committees. He presided over the heavily controversial Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas, but received criticisms for his handling of Anita Hill’s accusations against Thomas. His high-profile role in the hearings expanded his national recognition, and he positioned himself for national office. (Photo: CBS Photo Archive, Editorial Use)
