PRESIDENT-elect Joe Biden’s elusive daughter Ashley has revealed she’s “worried” for her dad’s safety on Inauguration Day.
Speaking in her first-ever TV interview, which is set to air on Tuesday, Ashley Biden expressed her fears in the wake of the deadly Capitol riots.
Today’s Jenna Bush Hager asked Biden’s daughter if she was “scared for the safety of her loved ones.”

Ashley addressed her fears following serious security concerns sparked by the deadly US Capitol riots when Trump supporters stormed the building.

During this week’s interview, Ashley spoke along with four of the president-elect’s grandchildren.
According to the news outlet, they discussed Jill Biden’s love for the 78-year-old incoming president, his journey in the presidential election, and the death of some family members.
Ashley recalled her family being “all-together” when they found out Biden was named the President-elect on November 7 – after he won the state of Pennsylvania.
“After the excitement and things just calmed down, I sat next to dad… held is hand and you know, I’m just so proud,” the 39-year-old social worker said.
“I truly am proud of my father.”
