Joe's got to get the attention where he can.
WASHINGTON -- Vice President-elect Joe Biden has some unfinished business left in the Senate: making history.
When the Delaware Democrat takes his Senate oath again Jan. 6, he will be 66 years, one month and 17 days old. That will make him the youngest person ever sworn into a seventh full Senate term, according to the U.S. Senate Historical Office.
It's a distinction that may be just a footnote. With inauguration falling on Jan. 20, Biden won't get to serve more than two weeks of the term. And there's no plan for the Historical Office to create a new list for such a designation.
But it could be a capstone to a Senate career of markers, beginning with the 1972 election just shy of his 30th birthday that made him the sixth-youngest senator ever to serve. Biden is also the longest-serving senator in Delaware history, and among the longest-serving senators in U.S. history.
