Joe Biden’s grandchildren have maintained their friendship with Sasha and Malia Obama even after the Trumps moved into the White House. The younger Bidens seek advice from the Obama sisters on navigating life as a family member of the leader of the free world.

In 2021, four of Joe’s adult granddaughters spoke about their special bond with Sasha and Malia on ‘Today.’ The conversation featured Natalie Biden, the daughter of Joe’s late son Beau Biden, and Hunter Biden’s daughters Naomi Biden, Finnegan Biden, and Maisy Biden. Sasha and Finnegan organized a slumber party for the group before Barack Obama won his White House bid in 2008. The two party planners were 7 and 10 at the time, respectively. 

“They cleared out the room and put down futons. There were seven, eight, or nine little kids in there,” Joe recalled during a fundraising event, as reported by The Guardian. He also revealed that seeing the kids have so much fun together made him feel good about accepting Obama’s offer to be his running mate. “I didn’t have any doubt after that; why did I take this job?” he said. Joe Biden’s granddaughters have gained potential lifelong friends from the experience, making them happy.

deeply admire Sasha and Malia Obama for persevering through the challenges of their father’s presidency. Having famous parents is stressful. Secret service agents tail you everywhere, adding to the pressure of being on your best behavior. You don’t want to make headlines for looking checked out while your dad cracks jokes. Finnegan said, ‘They came out so grounded and humble, and they’re so smart and driven, so I think we can only take their advice.’ Maisy Biden added, ‘You can only hope to do as well as they did because they just did it beautifully.’

Joe Biden’s granddaughters did not have the same experience as the Obama sisters, who grew up in the White House. However, Naomi Biden and her husband, Peter Neal, did move into the historic residence. Joe’s granddaughters also attend events at the White House, such as state dinners. 

The Obama sisters could provide helpful advice and are enjoyable to spend time with. TMZ published photos of Malia, Finnegan, and Maisy walking down a Manhattan sidewalk together after a lunch outing in April 2023. The three were captured sharing a laugh in the pictures.

Maisy Biden and Sasha Obama became close friends while attending.

D.C.’s Sidwell Friends School. They even played on the same basketball team in fourth grade, with their coach being basketball enthusiast Barack Obama. Obama praised Maisy’s skills, saying she dominated the league and they went undefeated.  

During an interview on ‘Today,’ Maisy mentioned that some teams had concerns about the commander-in-chief serving as a coach. However, the results speak for themselves: ‘I mean, we won,’ she said. In 2017, according to Hola, Maisy and Sasha were seen spending time with some friends in South Beach. During a 2019 campaign event in Iowa, Joe Biden referred to Sasha as Maisy’s ‘best friend.’ According to The Hill, the Biden and Obama families threw a joint party for their close friends when they graduated high school. 

Although Sasha and Maisy have much in common, Maisy is active on social media, while Sasha has no public accounts. If Sasha’s feelings about using social media to interact with the general change someday, she may appear in one of Maisy and Naomi’s Kardashian lip sync videos on TikTok. Who knows? America may have another Obama-Biden presidential ticket in the future.
