"I became a great-grandfather today," the President announced at a press conference in California.

He promptly noticed the mistake and corrected it: "A little boy", adding, "I'll remember this day."

In an interview with USA Today at the White House on Sunday, Biden shared that his granddaughter had a C-section scheduled for Wednesday.
