Biden's vice presidency (2009-2017) under Obama. Promises here are limited to the small set of commitments Biden personally made during the 2008 and 2012 campaigns about his portfolio (Iraq drawdown, Recovery Act oversight, Cancer Moonshot, gun-violence task force). A separate profile will eventually cover his presidency (2021-2025).
Joseph Biden's vice presidency record shows 6 kept promises out of 10 graded, with 4 partial completions and none fully broken during his tenure in that role.
The available data focuses on promise tracking rather than donor influence patterns. During his vice presidency, Biden kept campaign commitments at a 60% rate—a solid track record on stated goals, though four pledges saw only partial delivery.
We don't yet have detailed voting records or donor-to-vote alignment data for this period, which limits how fully we can show the relationship between his funding sources and his legislative positions. The data we have covers promise completion but not the money or specific bills behind his tenure.

The 21st Century Cures Act (Pub.L. 114-255), signed Dec 13, 2016, included $1.8 billion in Cancer Moonshot funding over seven years. Biden delivered the Moonshot Task Force report Oct 17, 2016.
Combat operations ended Aug 2010; remaining forces departed Dec 2011 per the Status of Forces Agreement. U.S. troops re-deployed to Iraq June 2014 to counter ISIS, complicating the 'responsible' framing.
