President attends 2nd grandchild's graduation as daughter of Biden's late son leaves high school

It's been a busier-than-usual graduation season for President Joe Biden

MIDDLETOWN, Del. -- It's been a busier-than-usual graduation season for President Joe Biden.

Biden and his wife, Jill, were on hand Sunday to watch granddaughter Natalie Biden graduate from high school, the White House said. Natalie is the daughter of the president's late son, Beau. She is a student at St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Delaware, and will attend the University of Pennsylvania in the fall. Beau Biden graduated from Penn.

The private Episcopal school was the setting for some scenes from the 1989 movie “Dead Poets Society,” starring the late Robin Williams.

Presidents usually deliver a couple of commencement addresses every year, including at one of the military service academies. But this year, Biden also got to watch another one of his grandchildren go through that rite of passage.

Earlier this month, Biden and the first lady attended granddaughter Maisy Biden's commencement from Penn.

Biden was the commencement speaker at Howard University's commencement on May 13. He is also scheduled to deliver the commencement address at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Thursday.

The judge overseeing the Georgia election interference case has denied Kenneth Chesebro's motion to dismiss his case over an alleged paperwork error by a prosecutor. The judge overseeing the Georgia 2020 election interference case has denied a motion from defendant Kenneth Chesebro to dismiss his case over an alleged paperwork error by one of the prosecutors. Chesebro had alleged that Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade, who was brought in by the district attorney to help investigate the election interference case, didn't file the oath of office required to join the DA's team.

Fitch Ratings has downgraded the United States government’s credit rating, citing rising debt at the federal, state, and local levels and a “steady deterioration in standards of governance” over the past two decades WASHINGTON -- Fitch Ratings has downgrade d the United States government's credit rating , citing rising debt at the federal, state, and local levels and a “steady deterioration in standards of governance” over the past two decades.
