She is the daughter of Hunter Biden and Kathleen Buhle, his first wife. Naomi was given the name of the President's first daughter, who died in a car accident in 1972 that also claimed the life of his first wife. According to US press reports, Naomi Biden plays an important role in the President's inner circle and has pushed him to run for the office in 2020.
