Barack Obama's presidential portrait will be unveiled at the White House in a September ceremony hosted by his former No. 2, President Joe Biden.
Portraits of the former president and Michelle Obama will be presented in the East Room on Sept. 7, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday
The private and nonprofit White House Historical Association has arranged portraits of recent presidents and first ladies since 1965 President Biden and first lady Jill Biden will host the Obamas for the occasion. As with previous such ceremonies, the artists and details about the artwork won’t be released until the day of the ceremony.
Carter later asked not to have a ceremony, according to the association, but most other former first couples have had one in their years since leaving office. The Obamas hosted the May 2012 unveiling of the portraits of former President George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush.
