A leading employer in his home state of Delaware, DuPont sponsored Biden\u2019s election campaigns between 1990 and 2008.<\/p>\n<p>After first winning a seat in the US Senate in 1972, Biden was quick to develop a relationship with DuPont. He met with its top executives at least twice a year, spoke regularly at gatherings of its rising stars, and helped it win federal grants. Former DuPont CEO Charles Holliday openly admits in the WSJ article that Biden \u201chelped us a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the years DuPont has been accused of suppressing unions, avoiding taxes, and discriminating against minorities.

Some of its chemicals have been linked to birth defects and illnesses such as cancer.<\/p>\n<p>During the recent US presidential election Biden was a prominent promoter of plans for a clean energy revolution and environmental justice.
