The Joe and Jill biden Foundation has established a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >13-member governance board<\/a>, including notable figures like former Secretary of State Antony Blinken and adviser Steve Ricchetti, to oversee the project. Building presidential libraries typically costs hundreds of millions of dollars and relies on private funding.<\/p>\n<p>Biden may encounter challenges in raising funds due to some within his party criticizing him for not exiting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/emmer-works-to-forge-closer-relationship-with-trump-after-speaker-fiasco\/\" title=\"Emmer aims to strengthen ties with Trump post-speaker incident\">presidential race sooner<\/a> to support Kamala Harris, as well as the Democratic Party&#8217;s ongoing identity struggles. Additionally,political opposition and the country&#8217;s current leanings toward the Republican Party could affect donor willingness. Despite these hurdles, board chairman Rufus gifford expressed cautious optimism about meeting fundraising goals.<\/p>\n<p>The selection of Delaware is fitting given biden&#8217;s long tenure as a senator from the state and his residence there. Delaware Governor Matt Meyer praised the choice, emphasizing the library&#8217;s role in preserving Biden&#8217;s story of resilience, family, and staying true to his roots. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Biden begins fundraising for Delaware presidential library<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2222055\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joe Biden<\/a> has selected <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Delaware\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Delaware<\/a> as the site of his presidential library, and his team started raising money to fund its construction.<\/p>\n<p>Building a presidential library recently has cost into the hundreds of millions.
