President Barack Obama joined Facebook last fall.

Biden hopes the Facebook page will "be a place where we can talk directly about the issues that matter to both of us."

The page officially debuted Wednesday evening, with a cover photo post showing Biden at his desk, with a pair of sunglasses prominently displayed.

Biden posted a lengthy introduction message Thursday, marking World Cancer Day and discussing his Cancer Moonshot Initiative.

Biden’s son Beau died from brain cancer in 2015.
