As the Democratic National Convention (DNC) gets underway, all eyes will be on Ashley Biden, who will introduce her father, President Joe Biden, on a grand stage in Chicago on the first day of the DNC on Monday. But who exactly is Ashley Biden?
Born June 8, 1981, in Wilmington, Delaware, Ashley is the only daughter of President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden. Growing up in a prominent political family, she was always surrounded by the pressures and expectations that come with being a Biden.
Ashley Biden’s race
Ashley holds a BA in Cultural Anthropology from Tulane University. She subsequently earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania. She has worked in a variety of positions focusing on social justice and community development. Ashley is currently pursuing a PhD in Clinical Social Work.
Despite her father’s high-profile career, Ashley has kept a relatively low profile. As First Daughter, she prefers to stay in the background and attend only a few public events. However, she has recently been in the spotlight more frequently, making appearances at state dinners and White House events.
Marriage to Dr. Howard Kerin
On a personal level, Ashley married Dr. Howard Kerin in 2012. Their wedding combined Catholic and Jewish traditions. Dr. Kerin is a plastic surgeon and adjunct professor of facial, plastic, and reconstructive surgery at Thomas Jefferson University. Ashley Biden’s net worth is around $2 million.
Stolen Diary
Ashley Biden was the victim of a robbery in which her diary and other personal items were stolen by Aimee Harris, who then sold them to Project Veritas. The theft and subsequent sale of her belongings led to legal action against those involved. Harris sold the diary to Project Veritas for $20,000. The organization did not publish the diaries, but instead handed them over to authorities. Harris was sentenced to one month in prison and three months of house arrest.
What to expect from the Democratic National Convention?
The national convention in Chicago this week has a lot at stake for Democrats. The party must finalize the unprecedented mid-campaign handoff from Biden to Harris and reintroduce the vice president to a divided country that has yet to make up its mind about her.
If successful, Democrats will launch Harris into an electoral showdown with Republican Donald Trump, whose White House bid is seen by the party as an existential threat to American principles. But a misstep could hurt Harris at a time when her candidacy has been enjoying a burst of money and momentum.
