This sentence about Naomi Biden's wedding made me stop short.

And there was Ms. Biden on the South Lawn of the White House, where she currently lives with her husband, the first presidential grandchild to be married at the White House and only the 19th bride to marry there, posing on a rose-festooned balcony.


Is it true? Is the new couple living with Naomi's grandparents at the White House?

Apparently it is!

I'm happy to see that, no matter how hellish her childhood might have been with a father as messed up as hers, her grandparents have given her the stability and love every child deserves.

They both work in DC. And apparently, Naomi has the closest relationship with her grandfather out of all the grandchildren.

Not too unusual for twenty somethings to live at home as they start their careers these days. Hey, I wouldn't say no either.

Biden accompanied her grandparents on official visits to China, Brazil, Turkey, New Zealand, and Trinidad and Tobago while they were serving as Vice President and Second Lady. . .

Biden attended the 2008 Democratic National Convention with her family, prior to the 2008 United States presidential election.[10]

In May 2013, Biden accompanied her grandparents, at the time the Vice President and Second Lady of the United States, on an official trip to Trinidad and Tobago.[11] While there, she met with Christian and Anura Carmona, the children of President Anthony Carmona.[11] She later accompanied the vice president on official visits to Brazil, China, Turkey, and New Zealand.[2]

Biden encouraged her grandfather to run in the 2020 United States presidential election against incumbant U.S. President Donald Trump, calling a family meeting in 2019 to persuade him to enter the race.[2][12][13] She gave a speech supporting her grandfather in a video that played during the 2020 Democratic National Convention.[7][12]

Career
Biden works as an international arbitration associate attorney at Arnold & Porter, having started with the law firm in 2020.'>
