Biographer Evan Osnos Describes Unifying Personality in ‘Joe Biden’
As a 30-year-old first-time senator from Delaware, Joe Biden had high hopes that he would end up in the White House.

California voters have approved Proposition 22, the most expensive ballot measure in state history, that will set new labor regulations for a group of delivery and ride-hailing app companies. The measure garnered national attention as a harbinger of how the tech industry could influence labor laws. After the state legislature passed a law last year requiring more workers to be classified as employees instead of contractors, tech executives said they wanted a “third way” of categorizing drivers.
