Elizabeth Vargas Announced as Moderator on Joe Biden's American Promise Tour

Elizabeth Vargas, Co-Anchor of ABC News' "20/20" will moderate former Vice President Joe Biden's stop in Orlando at Dr. Phillips Center's Walt Disney Theater on his American Promise Tour.

As an award-winning ABC News anchor, Elizabeth Vargas has traveled the world covering breaking news stories, reporting in-depth investigations, and conducting newsmaker interviews. She is currently the co-anchor of "20/20" with David Muir. Vargas is also the author of "Between Breaths: A Memoir of Panic and Addiction" released in 2016.

"Over the last month I've traveled around the country to share the story of my son Beau. I have been incredibly touched by countless stories of resilience and hope that so many people have shared with me - stories of enormous loss, and yet, in defiance of that loss, they get up every morning and summon the strength to live a life of purpose. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to continue this tour and hear from so many more people," says Vice President Biden.

Vargas joins a list of other inspiring figures from the worlds of politics, entertainment, news, philanthropy, medicine, and literature to guest moderate the appearance discussing Biden's best-selling memoir. PROMISE ME, DAD chronicles 2015, the most momentous and challenging year in Vice President Biden's extraordinary life and career. For twelve months, the vice president balanced the twin imperatives of living up to his responsibilities to his country and his family while his son Beau battled brain cancer.
