Joe Biden has revealed that his granddaughter, Naomi Biden, has given birth to her first child.
The President of the United States made the announcement during a press conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday (January 8) while discussing the current wildfires in California.
“But the good news is, I’m a great-grandfather as of today,” he said, before revealing his great-grandchild’s gender. “Baby boy. So I’ll remember this day.”
The news comes days after he first confirmed that Naomi and her husband Peter Neal, were preparing to welcome their child.
“I’m about to be a great-grandfather, Jesus God… I’m going out to California,” he told USA Today on Sunday. “She’s due to have a cesarean on the 8th of January.”
In November, Naomie, who is the eldest daughter of Joe’s son Hunter and his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle, announced that she was expecting.
She shared a mirror selfie on Election Day while sporting a black poncho and a matching pair of leggings adorned with an “I Voted” sticker. She also showed off her baby bump, with the caption: “(we) voted.”
