Both major party candidates, Republican incumbent Donald Trump and the Democrats' presumptive nominee Joe Biden, have experience. The current president brought his business acumen to the White House and is in his fourth year running the country. Joe Biden served eight years as vice president, from 2009 to 2017, and represented Delaware in the U.S. Senate, from 1973 to 2009.
