12 conventions over 48 years: Joe Biden's history with the DNC.
on Thursday night, it will be a culminating moment more than three decades in the making, and will mark the 12th time in nearly half a century that he will attend the Democratic National Convention -- albeit in a much different format than in previous years.
Back in 1972, he attended the Democratic National Convention in Miami in an unofficial capacity during his first run for the Senate, according to an article from the Wilmington Morning News. He took on a more prominent role at the gathering in New York in 1976 as a freshman Senator, serving as one of 14 floor managers for then-candidate Jimmy Carter and appearing as a surrogate for the campaign in television appearances.
The 2000 convention also brought further speculation about a second run for the White House, something that Biden did not dismiss out of hand, but refrained from embarking on in the next election cycle.
