Aubrey Plaza wrote an opinion piece for Delaware Online about President Joe Biden; check it out below!

I met Joe Biden when I was sixteen years old at the Joe Biden youth leadership conference in Delaware. I was so excited to be chosen to represent my high school and get to voice my opinions about local issues and policies. I’ll never forget Joe delivering the closing speech in the auditorium – his face getting all red because he was so impassioned. I can’t remember the topic of the speech, but I knew he meant every word he was saying up there! It was fiery and we all loved it.

Years later, when I was cast on “Parks and Recreation,” I had the privilege of working with Joe and Jill. We got a tour of the vice president’s office and I found a note on Joe’s desk that had my name on it and some facts about where we had met in Delaware. I felt so special that he remembered we had a history. In true April Ludgate style, I pocketed the note. Mike Schur [the creator of “Parks and Recreation”] was very concerned I’d get in trouble. It was the White House after all. You can’t steal from the White House! Turns out you can.

Some more years later, I was asked to host “Saturday Night Live.” A dream come true. I pitched an idea to Lorne Michaels to have Joe (who was the sitting president at that time) do a little bit in my monologue. Lorne seemed skeptical, but he let me pursue it. I was hoping that Joe would remember me enough to want to participate. But I wasn’t sure I could pull it off. Not only did he say yes — he left a heartwarming voicemail on my phone after he filmed his bit.

He said on the message, “Hey kid, it’s Ashley Bidens dad…,” and it made me laugh. Even as the sitting president, he was still the same guy. A total sweetheart.
