Obama Portraits Head To The White House

The White House will unveil official portraits of former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama on September 7. The former President and first lady will be hosted by President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden at an unveiling ceremony in the White House East Room. The Presidential portrait unveiling is a traditional White House event. What's significant about these ceremonies is there's a long-standing tradition where current president hosts the immediate past president to unveil their official portrait; however, that didn't happen with President Trump and former President Obama, which is why Obama's portrait unveiling is happening on September 7.
