Your support makes all the difference.President Joe Biden is set to become a great-grandfather for the first time, after his granddaughter Naomi revealed her pregnancy on election night.
On Tuesday, the 30-year-old political scion made the big reveal by posting a selfie on her Instagram story, shortly after the polls closed in Washington DC.
Naomi, the eldest daughter of the president’s 54-year-old son Hunter Biden and his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle, sported a black poncho and a matching pair of leggings adorned with an “I Voted” sticker in the post.
Showing off her baby bump, she captioned the post: “(we) voted,” alongside an American flag icon and an upside-down smiley face.
It is not clear how far along Naomi is in her pregnancy.
Naomi tied the knot with 27-year-old Peter Neal in November 2022 in a lavish ceremony on the White House’s South Lawn.
The president, First Lady Jill Biden, Hunter and wife Melissa, and siblings Finnegan and Maisy attended the big day.
It marked the first wedding ceremony held on the White House grounds since Chelsea Clinton – daughter of Bill and Hillary Clinton – married Marc Mezvinsky in July 2010.
Back in June, Naomi took the stand in her father’s gun charges trial in Wilmington, Delaware, telling the court that “after my uncle died, things got bad” – in reference to the death of Hunter’s brother Beau Biden from brain cancer in 2015.
Naomi also testified that she visited Hunter during his 2018 stint at a Los Angeles rehab facility, where she introduced him to Neal.
This July, when her grandfather abandoned his re-election campaign, making way for Vice President Kamala Harris to step up to the top of the Democratic ticket, Naomi was quick to share her support for her “Pop.”
“I’m nothing but proud today of my Pop, our President, Joe Biden who has served our country with every bit of his soul and with unmatched distinction,” she wrote on X on July 21.
“Our world is better today in so many ways thanks to him. To the Americans who have always had his back, keep the faith. He will always have ours.”
