The Obamas did not have their unveiling ceremony while Donald Trump was in office
Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, will return to the White House on Wednesday for the unveiling of their official portraits, hosted by Joe Biden about five years after the former president left office.
Large, formal portraits of presidents and first ladies adorn walls, hallways and rooms throughout the White House. Customarily, a former president returns for the unveiling during his successor’s tenure.
