President Joe Biden has added a new title to his list——great-grandfather, as his granddaughter, Naomi Biden Neal, welcomed a baby boy on Wednesday. The joyous news came shortly after Biden met with local officials in Los Angeles concerning devastating wildfires in the region.

“The good news is I’m a great-grandfather as of today, the president announced, slowly adjusting after initially declaring the newborn a “10-pound, 4-ounce baby girl,” before correcting himself to announce, “Baby boy.” The newborn, named William Brannon Neal IV, was born through a scheduled C-section at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (USA Today).

Naomi, the daughter of Biden’s son Hunter Biden and his wife Melissa Cohen, married Peter Neal in a unique White House ceremony in November 2022, marking a memorable event as the first marriage of a sitting president's grandchild on the South Lawn.

While visiting Naomi and her baby for approximately 40 minutes post-briefing, Biden said the family is facing a critical time as they also learned about the uncertainty surrounding Hunter Biden's home, which he initially feared might have been lost to flames. However, recent reports indicated the house may still be intact (The Hill).

Biden's newest title makes him the first sitting president to become a great-grandfather during his administration, demonstrating the intertwining of personal and public life in a historic administration filled with familial milestones.

As the Bidens celebrated this major family milestone, they also navigated the challenges posed by the ongoing wildfires, demonstrating resilience that reflects their leadership in the nation. Jill Biden shared a celebratory photo of the family on Instagram shortly after the birth announcement, embracing the joy amidst the ongoing difficulties of recent events.
