Jan 8, 2025, 07:29 PM
President Joe Biden announced that he became a great-grandfather on Wednesday after his eldest granddaughter, Naomi Biden, gave birth to her first child via C-section. Biden shared the news during a briefing on the devastating wildfires in Southern California, which have destroyed over 1,000 homes and businesses. "The good news is, I'm a great-grandfather as of today," he said. "I can remember this day for a lot of wrong reasons." After the announcement, the press was dismissed, and no questions were taken. The President and First Lady Jill Biden visited Naomi in the hospital earlier in the day.
