Evan Osnos: Joe Biden still has the ability to surprise people
Joe Biden is well known as the kind of guy who will talk your ear off, whether you're a head of state or an Average Joe on the campaign trail. But Evan Osnos, New Yorker staff writer and author of "Joe Biden: The Life, The Run and What Matters Now," thinks that reputation may be outdated. "Here he is in his eighth decade when a lot of people are, frankly, in more of a broadcasting mode than a listening mode, he's actually become a more attentive listener." Despite one of the longest political careers in modern American history, there remains more to Joe Biden than may meet the eye. Osnos spoke with Ian Bremmer on GZERO World.

Biden's biographer explains: why did “Sleepy Joe” stick?
For much of the 2020 Presidential race, it seemed like Donald Trump wished he was running against Bernie Sanders instead of Joe Biden. Try as he and his party would, the "socialist" attacks just didn't seem to stick on Biden. But one nickname, "Sleepy Joe" did pack a punch. Biden Biographer and New Yorker staff writer Evan Osnos thinks he may know why it landed more effectively than the other missives, and why it may not exactly be an insult. He spoke with Ian Bremmer on GZERO World.

Joe Biden’s “humbled” foreign policy outlook
"He is a humbled man at this point in his life…and he comes to [the presidency] at a moment when the United States should frankly be humbled, too." Few presidents have entered office with as much foreign policy experience as Joe Biden.But that doesn't mean his outlook on everything from China to Russia to America's role in the world hasn't changed dramatically, even in the last four years. Biden biographer Evan Osnos explains.
His conversation with Ian Bremmer was part of the latest episode of GZERO World, which begins airing nationally in the US on public television Friday, November 20th. Check local listings.
