Biden Giving Obama Portrait Ceremony Trump Denied Ex-Prez

President Joe Biden will be holding a portrait ceremony for former President Barack Obama, who was denied the moment by Donald Trump.

“President Joe Biden will host former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama at the White House in early September for the unveiling of their official White House portraits, an Obama spokesperson said.

The traditional East Room ceremony unveiling the Obamas’ portraits, usually a moment when the sitting president and the first lady fête their immediate predecessors, was put off while President Donald Trump was in office given the bitter, estranged relationship between the two men.

Because of the Covid pandemic, the event was further delayed after Biden took office last year. It’s typically held indoors in the East Room of the White House.” [READ MORE]
