As the US election race raged between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, American citizens began to care more about the Democratic candidate, especially his family life.

During Trump's presidency of the United States, the media shone a great deal on the family of the US president, especially his wife Melania and his eldest daughter Ivanka, who were very popular even outside the borders of the United States.

US Elections 2020: Who is Ashley Biden?

Now, the media has begun to shine a spotlight on Biden, because of the raging race between him and Trump, and attention has reached his daughter Ashley.

Ashley, 39 years old, is considered the only daughter from his second marriage, which came after the tragic traffic accident that killed his daughter and first wife in 1972.

According to "Marie Claire" magazine, Biden has a lot to do with his daughter Ashley, who was born in 1981. She even accompanied him a lot in his election campaigns.

Ashley received a degree in cultural anthropology from Tulane University in New Orleans, before receiving a master's degree in social services from the University of Pennsylvania.

In 2014, Biden’s daughter became executive director of the Delaware Justice Center, which focused its work on achieving criminal justice.

In addition to her career as a social justice activist, Ashley created the US-based Livelihood clothing business.

She earmarked a percentage of the company's sales to fund social service organizations in Washington, DC and Delaware.

On a personal level, Ashley married plastic surgeon Howard Crane, in 2012, who works at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia.

On the other hand, Ashley was seriously shocked by the death of her half-brother, Beau Biden, in 2015, after a long struggle with brain cancer.

About Beau’s death, Ashley said, “He was the arrow that led me forward. His death from cancer dropped me on my knee, I have no choice now but to go ahead with my dreams.”

Since the start of Joe Biden's campaign for the US presidency, Ashley stood by her father in many popular rallies, and expressed her support for him in the elections several times.

It is certain that Ashley's popularity will increase if Biden wins the elections, and it will not be unlikely that she will ever enter the political corps to implement the social justice that she seeks on a wider national scale.
