Yes and no.

...Biff went on to run for president, didn't he.
Shit.
St.Clair:
When we see Old Biff return to 2015, he seems to be in some distress as he's trying to get out of the DeLorean. Fanon is that Lorraine eventually got up the (possibly liquid) courage to do him in sometime after 1985a, and he's in the process of fading out as that catches up with him.

They did change it, right?

After the third movie created another altered timeline starting in the 1880s (hence the ravine being renamed 'Eastwood Gulch') everything is up for grabs. We're assuming 1985/3 is mostly the same as 1985/2 because we see the second version of Lorraine and George in the house but, beyond that, everything is up to the fans to determine in their own head-canons.

My fanon is that losing the almanac and the fact that Marty is apparently in league with Space Aliens broke Biff-B (the one from the 'Biffhorriffic' 1985). He never regained his mojo and losing his 'lucky charm' (the almanac) destroyed his self-confidence. Increasingly paranoid that Lorraine and George's kids were plotting against him, he tried to kill them in a ludicrously ill-thought-out manner. His wealth and power enabled him to avoid prosecution and divorce Lorraine without having to make any maintenance provisions for her. However, he was now quickly burning through all the favours he was owed by his organised crime contacts and, having lost the almanac, he could no longer pay them off by winning them sporting bets. Having finally used up all his legendary luck, he started making too many dangerous enemies and getting too deeply in debt to 'creditors' who cared nothing for the law; ultimately he was killed, like his long-time idol and role model Ben 'Bugsy' Seigel, some time in the early 1990s.

No-one ever seems to address the fact that the 2nd movie wasn't really about "Something’s gotta Be done About your kids!" at all...

But it was… they just got distracted in the middle a little… :P

No, the future kids trip was just a vehicle to get the future sports almanac into past Biff's hands.
--- End quote ---
If you really think about it, they never got the chance because they had to fix the issue that the almanac caused so the third movie not only didn't resolve it but completely ignored it as well...so we're left to assume that he either rebuilt the time machine or used the time train to fix the issue in the future by preventing it.

That’s the thing though, they did fix the problem with the kids; Griff ended up in jail, so Marty jr. never went with him to do… whatever it was that go him in trouble… so Marlene has no reason to get into trouble for (failing to) bust him out. With Griff and his entire gang arrested, their influence on jr. vanishes like dust in the rain so he’s probably fine, even if he does end up halfway between Original George and Seamus in personality.
Of course all of this was erased and made irrelevant when Marty tricked Needles in the truck race after returning from 1885, meaning he never hurt his hand, could continue to play guitar and possibly pursue a career as a rock musician, but definitely not have his confidence shattered or have to deal with the disappointment and disapproval garnered from everyone he knows by wrecking his brand-new truck first time out, with his girlfriend on board too.
