Biden Receives Lifetime Achievement Award at Edward M. Kennedy Institute Boston Anniversary

Former President Joe Biden is set to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate in Boston, coinciding with the institute's 10th anniversary celebration. The event will honor Biden alongside former Boston Mayor Martin Walsh and retired U.S. Navy Admiral Lisa Franchetti, who will receive Awards for Inspired Leadership. Biden, who served as a senator for decades and was vice president under Barack Obama before winning the presidency in 2020, recently completed radiation treatment for an aggressive form of prostate cancer. At the event, Biden emphasized his enduring belief in American democracy, praising the legacy of Senator Ted Kennedy and the importance of optimism in the nation's ongoing struggles and possibilities. The celebration aims to inspire new generations of leaders by highlighting the examples set by Biden, Walsh, Franchetti, and Kennedy. The ceremony will be streamed live and is expected to draw attention to Biden's continued public service and resilience amid health challenges.
