As the Obama-Biden ‘Special Relationship’ drew to an end earlier this year, the world mourned.

Their bromance has been splashed across the Internet – and Joe Biden, the lovable sidekick, thinks it’s hilarious according to his daughter, Ashley.
Speaking to Moneyish, Ashley recalled how Biden ‘sat there for an hour and laughed’ when she first introduced him to the memes.
