President Joe Biden and his onetime boss, former President Barack Obama, will reunite next week to unveil the 44th commander in chief's official White House portrait.
Biden and Obama will be joined by their wives, first lady Jill Biden and former first lady Michelle Obama, for the East Room ceremony next Wednesday, according to the White House.
The former president's portrait unveiling was postponed during former President Donald Trump's administration due to the pair's acrimonious relationship. Trump, who is embroiled in a legal skirmish with Biden's Justice Department over his handling of classified material, is in the process of having his portrait painted, but it is unclear when or how it will be unveiled.
Obama's return to the White House coincides with his return to the campaign trail, as he is headlining two Democratic fundraisers next week before November's midterm elections.
