Joe Biden’s victory in the US presidential election means a new “first family” will be stepping into the White House, and will include a mix of figures who are already household names or upcoming social media stars, as well as relatives who like to keep a lower profile.
Besides Biden himself, the person most involved in the president-elect’s political career is his wife, Jill Biden, an educator and “military mom”. The pair have been married since 1977.
Jill is expected to break with tradition and keep her day job as a professor, while also immersing herself in education policy. That’s an unusual move, even for a first lady with four degrees.
“For American educators, this is a great day for y’all,” Biden said in his victory speech on Saturday. “You’re gonna have one of your own in the White House. And Jill’s gonna make a great first lady. I’m so proud of her.”
