Joe Biden's family tree, here's a look on 'Who’s who in Joe Biden’s family?'

The US Democratic Presidential nominee, Joe Biden, aged 77 served as a senator for Delaware since 1973 and Barack Obama’s vice president for two terms. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania on November 20, 1942, the President-elect's family has a clan of children and grandchildren that he has often said he speaks to, daily. While Biden categorically appeals to working-class masses due to his Irish Catholic roots in Scranton, his soft, emphatic character has been the focus of the 2020 campaign, especially amid the challenging times of the coronavirus pandemic.

Biden, who lost family members in tragedies when he was first elected the senator in December 1972 at the age of 30, is now married to an American educator and First lady designate, Dr. Jill Tracy Jacobs Biden. Here’s a look at who’s who in Joe Biden’s family.

Wife of President-elect Joe Biden is a lifelong educator, a proud military mom, and an active member of her community. As the former Second Lady, Dr. Biden worked extensively for the military families. She created awareness around the importance of community colleges to America’s future and highlighted areas of particular importance to women, including breast cancer prevention, all while continuing to teach as a full-time English professor at a community college in Northern Virginia.

As a teacher, Jill Biden emphasized community colleges and education as the key to changing the lives of so many students. Jill Tracy Jacobs was born in New Jersey but raised in Pennsylvania. “I just didn’t think he would appeal to me,” Jill Biden had jokingly told The Philadelphia Inquirer after she revealed that Biden's brother Frank arranged the meeting between the two before marriage. 

Robert Hunter Biden

Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden is the eldest and his mother was killed in an accident when he was 5. An investment consultant and a lawyer by profession, Hunter graduated from Georgetown University in 1992. He was in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps for a year and attended the prestigious Yale Law School for a degree. Hunter Biden served at US Navy Reserve and was discharged in 2014 after testing positive for cocaine. In 1993, he married Kathleen Buhle and the couple had three children, Naomi, Finnegan and Maisy. However, Hunter and Buhle divorced in 2017, and in 2019, he married Melissa Cohen.

Beau Biden, an Iraq war veteran, was the eldest son of Joe Biden and Neilia and served as the 44th Attorney General of Delaware. However, in 2015 Beau passed away after his prolonged battle with brain cancer. Beau who was often seen accompanying his father was survived by wife Hallie Olivere, and two children, Natalie Biden and Robert Biden II. Beau introduced Biden at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in 2008 for acceptance of the nomination for Barack Obama’s running mate.
