Overview
- Joe Biden posted the family image to X on Christmas Eve with a brief holiday greeting wishing users a peaceful and joyful night.
- In the photo he stands in the back partly blocked by Jill Biden, while Hunter Biden appears prominently alongside Maisy Biden, Ashley Biden, Melissa Cohen and two grandchildren.
- Users on X highlighted his obscured placement with comments like “Where’s Joe?” and shared close-ups and memes, including altered versions targeting Hunter.
- Coverage placed the reaction in the context of Biden’s reduced visibility since leaving office and his office’s May disclosure of aggressive prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
- Reporters noted the post did not address the composition and that representatives for Biden did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
