Many Americans are excited that Joe Biden is going to be the next president of the US.

It's a big job that will affect lots of people all over the world - but three kids from Ireland are a bit more excited than most.

They're his 5th Cousins and they have met him twice.

Emily, Dara and Lauren live near Ballina, a County Mayo town near the Atlantic coast, where Joe Biden's grandparents were from.

That's where Emily, Dara and Lauren met him when he came over to see them two years ago.

Dara told me he was a lovely man, he asked them lots of questions and was very kind to their grandma.

Emily said he had a really sweet tooth and loved ice-cream and Lauren told me that he's very hard working, because when he was younger he had a stammer and he had to work very hard to become a public speaker.

I asked them if they thought he'd make a good president and they said: "Definitely he is a great role model, he has lots of experience and the country is in safe hands."

They all wanted to wish him luck and tell him how proud they are of him.

Lauren is saving up all her money as she's hoping to go over and visit him at the White House one day.

After all they are family!
