The Bidens knew Naomi's delivery date in advance.
Biden told USA Today, in an interview conducted last week, that Naomi was scheduled to have a c-section on Wednesday. And that he was going to California to see her.
'I'm about to be a great-grandfather, Jesus God,' he said.
'I'm going out to California. She's due to have a cesarean on the 8th of January,' he added.
Naomi Biden, 30, is the eldest daughter of Hunter Biden and his ex-wife Kathleen Buhle.
William is Hunter's first grandchild and the Bidens' first great-grandchild.
Jill Biden addressed the Biden family news at a women's health conference she was hosting at the White House last month.
'We've talked about this all this morning - research that uses genetics to find a cause of extreme morning sickness, and I heard this a couple weeks ago, and I was particularly interested because my own granddaughter was going through the same thing,' she said.
Then she burst into a big smile and announced: 'Because we're going to be great grandparents!'
The room burst into applause.
