• I don't think this is eligible. Per WP:DYK: a "new" article is no more than seven days old, and may not consist of text spun off from a pre-existing article and The content with which the article has been expanded must be new content, not text copied from other articles. As this is spin-off from Joe Biden, it isn't eligible in its current form. It would be if promoted to GA status, though. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:44, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Overall: Article is a recent GA, long enough and seems neutral. Earwig is not picking up any real copyvio (although I did see some mirror sites and quotes pop up). The hooks are interesting, assuming good faith on the offline citations. Photo is free, in the article and looks good. qpq is done so I think we can finally promote this nom!
