President Joe Biden spent Father’s Day golfing with his grandson, Robert “Hunter” Biden II, at Fieldstone Golf Club in Wilmington, Delaware, the White House said Sunday. Mr. Biden’s 15-year-old grandson is the son of his late son, Beau Biden.
Steve Ricchetti, a counselor to the president, joined them.
Meanwhile, first lady Jill Biden posted a tribute her father on social media. “My dad, a Navy Signalman in World War II, was my first hero,” Jill Biden wrote. “If I close my eyes, I can still hear his encouraging voice saying, ‘Good for you, Jilly-bean!'”
Jill Biden’s father, Donald Jacobs, died in 1999. “I miss him everyday,” she wrote, adding that her “heart is with those who are also missing their dads today.”
