Joe Biden is officially on Facebook.
The vice president Thursday unveiled his new page on the social media giant, making him the first vice president to have a page, although Facebook was only launched in 2004.
“Hi, folks. Welcome to my Facebook page. It’s the first time a vice president has had one of these. I’d like it to be a place where we can talk directly about the issues that matter to both of us,” Biden said in the post accompanying a video of him sitting him his office.
“Because this does matter. You’re citizens of a very big world — one made smaller and more accessible by technologies and platforms just like this one,” Biden continued. “And you’ve got opportunities that no generation before you has had to engage directly with one another about the issues facing this country.”
Biden’s page, according to the White House, will be used for Q&A Thursday at 3 p.m. Eastern time in honor of World Cancer Day.
