Joe Biden found out that he was going to be the next President of the United States from his grandchildren, US media reports.

Earlier today Naomi Biden shared a candid photo of the Biden family on the day her granddad Joe was projected as the winner of the bitter battle with Donald Trump.

The shot, shared on Twitter in the style of a Polaroid, was simply captioned with today’s date.

It was shared online by Naomi Biden, and shows the family hugging, as Mr Biden, who is set to become the 46th President of the United States, simply looking at the camera with a smile.

CNN reports that President-elect Biden spent the majority of his time at home today with his family – taking in the moment they’ve worked for together for years.

They say it was his grandchildren who were the ones who informed him that the race was called in his favour, according a source on the campaign.
