Who you should follow from Biden

Your social platforms might have less fodder for Saturday Night Livesketches after removing the remaining Trump family-members-turned-political-leaders from your follows, but the new administration includes a fresh cast of characters.

President Joe Biden has a host of grandkids, and two dogs. Vice President Kamala Harris is married to the country's first Second Gentleman, who has two young adult children from a previous marriage. Then, the White House cabinet is shaping up with nominee confirmation hearings that aren't likely to be struck down in a Democrat-controlled Senate.

Here's how to follow along online for the next four years whether it's on Twitter, Instagram, or even TikTok.

Biden family

The first obvious follow is Joe Bidenhimself, whether that's his personal accounts or his official government ones.

  • Twitter: @POTUS and @JoeBiden

  • Facebook: Joe Biden

  • Instagram: @joebiden and @potus

Same goes for his wife, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden:

  • Twitter: @FLOTUS and @DrBiden

  • Facebook: Dr Jill Biden

  • Instagram: @drbiden and @flotus

The couple's children Ashley Biden and Hunter Biden are mostly offline. But then there's the grandchildren. Biden's four granddaughters, Natalie, Naomi, Finnegan, and Maisy, are socially active on TikTok and Instagram (and even Twitter), along with his older grandson Robert.

  • Naomi:@NaomiBiden (Twitter), @NaomiBiden (Instagram)

  • Finnegan: Only private accounts

  • Maisy: Her Instagram is also private, but her TikTok is open at @scoobeydoobey

  • Natalie: She's got a private Instagram, but she has a huge following on TikTok (@natbiden)

  • Robert aka Hunter: Not to be confused with his uncle, the younger Hunter Biden has a TikTok at @hunter.biden

For the Bidens' dogs, Major and Champ, there are only unofficial accounts across most platforms that don't appear to be owned or operated by a member of the Biden family. Here's hoping for an official TikTok featuring the pooches, especially since Champ is the first rescue dog in the White House.
