'Now is her time, and she has something to say': what is known about Joe Biden's daughter

When President-elect Joe Biden takes the oath of office on January 20 and becomes the 46th President of the United States, his family will be with him on the steps of the Capitol. Who will support Biden, said the publication Dailymail.

Jill Biden, his wife, with whom they have been together for 43 years, will be at the inauguration, she has been with him during the most violent and divisive campaign in the United States.

There will also be 50-year-old Hunter, Biden's only living son. In the past, he overcame addiction to alcohol and cocaine, and more than once got into scandals. He once forgot a laptop containing top-secret information about the White House, which nearly undermined his father's presidential prospects.

But there will also be a less recognizable woman standing next to Joe Biden. Ashley Biden, 39, Jill and Joe's only child, is the new "first daughter" of the United States.

Ivanka Trump's place next to her father Donald over the past four years has broken the "first daughter" stereotype, putting her on par with the position of first lady.

Given that Jill is an outstanding teacher and has no plans to give up her career, it is likely that Ashley will step onto the world stage with her father after his inauguration.

One Washington insider said: “Ashley has stayed under the radar until now because she was never ready or willing to be in the spotlight. When Joe was Barack Obama's vice president, she had some problems and didn't need the extra attention. Now she is about to become the ‘first daughter’ and will occupy as important a place in the new administration as Ivanka Trump did in the previous one.”

“Ivanka had her own office, traveled the world with her father, had great influence over him, and was also able to negotiate lucrative business deals. In a sense, Ivanka was her father's right hand. The same will happen with Ashley,” the insider said.

Sad life story

Biden has a very sad life story - his first wife Neilia and their 13-month-old daughter Naomi were killed in a car accident just before Christmas 1972, leaving him a single father of two boys, Hunter and Beau.

Bo died of brain cancer in 2015 at the age of 46, and Hunter struggled with addictions for a long time, he was even kicked out of the army for drug use. He also sparked outrage by having an affair with his late brother's wife.

These tragedies and disasters were mercilessly covered by the US media, so it's no surprise that Joe and Jill tried to keep their only child, Ashley, out of the limelight.

What is known about Ashley

She shares the social awareness and environmentalism that her parents support. As a child, she learned that the cosmetics brand Bonne Bell tested products on animals, and this upset her very much. Her father advised her to write a letter to the company asking them to change their policy, drawing attention to the problem of environmental protection, especially the conservation of dolphins.

She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a master's degree in social policy and practice, continuing her struggle to change the world for the better.

But sometimes society learned about her and not very good news.

"Ash's dad is very protective of her, but she has had a lot of addiction issues," one source said.

They first became known in 1999, when she was arrested for possession of marijuana. No criminal record was recorded. Then, in 2002, she was allegedly arrested for resisting a police officer.

Seven years later, in 2009, when her father was vice president in the Obama administration, a video circulated on American tabloids in which Ashley was allegedly sniffing cocaine. The New York Post reported that the owner was asking for $ 2 million for the video. The case was hushed up but never denied.

For Ashley herself, 2010 seems to be a turning point in her rehabilitation. Beau introduced her to the man who would eventually become her husband, the plastic surgeon Dr. Howard Crane.

They married in 2012 at a cliff-top interfaith service in Big Sur, California, combining Dr. Crane's Jewish faith with Ashley's Catholicism.

For 15 years, America's next "First Daughter" worked as a social worker for the Delaware Department of Children, Youth and Family Services, focusing on foster care and mental health. Three years ago, she introduced her Passion Project, a line of sweatshirts with an arrow piercing the heart in memory of Beau.

“He was my heart,” she said in 2015. “His cancer broke me. But I had no choice but to move forward, keep going, keep pursuing my dream.”

It was during this period that she first hinted that she might want to go into public service, saying: “My father was a civil servant all his life; my mother was a public school teacher. It's in my DNA."

However, it would be another three years before Ashley entered the political arena on behalf of her father. Earlier this year, she took the stage at the Democratic National Convention and told the assembled audience: “He will be like a rock, he will treat everyone with respect, no matter who you are or where you come from. He will love you with all his heart. He is a good man".

Now he is preparing for the presidency, and his daughter is preparing to take her place in US public life.

“The world is in for a surprise,” the insider said. “She knows who she is and what she wants to achieve, she is a formidable force.” For a long time she felt vulnerable and could not be the center of attention, but now is her time and she has something to say. She's been through a lot and it makes her empathetic to others, so you can expect great work from her."
