Joe Biden at Press Briefing on LA Fires: ‘The Good News Is, I’m a Great-Grandfather!’
President Joe Biden took the time to announce some personal “good news” to reporters during an awkward press briefing with California Gov. Gavin Newsom on the Los Angeles wildfires, saying, “I’m a great-grandfather!”
While standing next to Newsom to update the nation on the status of the multiple devastating fires that began on Tuesday evening, Biden made a sudden pivot to an announcement about his family:
“The good news is, I’m a great-grandfather as of today,” the 82-year-old president said during the briefing, held at a firehouse in Santa Monica, Los Angeles County.
“I’ll remember this day for a lot of reasons,” he added, before leaving without answering any questions from reporters.
