The claim is technically true, as the school\u2019s website <a href=\"https:\/\/amc.sas.upenn.edu\/people\/senior-fellow-joe-biden\">lists<\/a> Biden as the former Benjamin Franklin Presidential Professor of Practice between 2017 and 2021.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Biden also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.widener.edu\/news\/news-archive\/he-was-mr-president-he-was-professor-biden-his-widener-law-students\">previously served<\/a> as an adjunct Professor of Law for seventeen years, until retiring in Spring 2008 to join the Obama campaign as his VP.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>As for how many times Joe Biden visited the UPenn school grounds, <em>The Daily Pennsylvanian <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedp.com\/article\/2019\/02\/joe-biden-upenn-philadelphia-2020-gutmann-photo-essay\">documented<\/a> a total of nine occasions.

He also <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TPostMillennial\/status\/1514685457082236932\">reiterated<\/a> previous claims that Democrats are &#8220;lowering the deficit, not increasing it.&#8221; While the President acknowledged current challenges like<a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/bidenflation-consumer-prices-surge-to-40-year-high\"> inflation<\/a> and high gas prices, Joe once again blamed Russia\u2019s Vladimir Putin for an inflation hike that began accelerating long before the invasion of Ukraine. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>&#8220;God bless you all,&#8221; Biden said in conclusion, before putting his hand out to give a handshake.
