Unelected Jill Biden Speaks at the WH Cabinet Meeting

Optics is horrible - Who's Running the Country?

In the first WH Cabinet meeting in 11 months, Joe Biden turned the mic over to his unelected wife, Jill Biden. The optics of such a move was stunningly foolish and begs the question: Who’s running the country?

Supposedly, his reason was for her to talk about “maternal health.” But Joe Biden only spoke for about 2 minutes before turning the microphone over to Jill with the statement, “It’s all yours, kid.”

The New York Post reported that Jill Biden, seated at the head of the Cabinet Room’s board table, “read from a binder about maternal health initiatives for four-and-a-half minutes after her husband spoke for just two minutes off the top of the meeting.” 

The president traditionally sits at the center of the table with Cabinet members seated in order of the founding of their departments. The last sitting first lady to attend her husband’s Cabinet meeting appears to be Hillary Clinton.

The amount of influence the first lady has over Joe Biden, and therefore his administration, has been a frequent source of controversy, and numerous commentators took to social media to criticize her presence at the meeting.

The New York Post said that Jill Biden is “considered by insiders to be the most influential first lady since Edith Wilson, who tightly controlled access to her husband, President Woodrow Wilson, after he suffered a debilitating stroke in October 1919.” Fox

With the number of prominent and extremely important issues facing America at this time, having Jill Biden “read from a binder” about maternal health for 4 minutes is ridiculous. And irrelevant. But then, Democrats often do irrelevant things.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Yes, at least two presidential wives have historically attended a WH Cabinet meeting: Edith Wilson, and Hillary Clinton. And we know what they are/were like: controlling.
