President Joe Biden got a new title on Wednesday: great-grandfather. His granddaughter, Naomi Biden Neal, gave birth to her first child with her husband, Peter Neal, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
The baby’s name is William Brannon Neal IV, according to an Instagram post from Jill Biden, the first lady, of her and the president with their new great-grandson.
Biden, who was in Los Angeles and saw the baby at the hospital, announced the birth at the end of an official briefing on wildfires in Southern California. The good news is I’m a great-grandfather as of today,” Biden said.
Mr Biden and his wife spent roughly 40 minutes with Naomi and the baby, the White House said. In an interview published Wednesday, Mr Biden told USA Today that she was undergoing a caesarian section that day.
The president and his wife arrived in Los Angeles late Monday after visiting New Orleans to mourn with the community after the deadly New Year’s Day vehicle attack in the French Quarter. The president had an event Tuesday in California, but his announcement of national monuments was postponed because of the wildfires.
