President Biden spoke in the Rose Garden at the White House to celebrate the Americans with Disabilities Act and to mark Disability Pride Month. In a cheeky exchange with his wife, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, he joked about how he would vote for her after seeing her interact and welcome all the guests to the Rose Garden. First Lady Biden made it very, very clear in her response that her running for office is not even an option to be considered. Based on President Biden’s comments, it appears that the First Lady originally had no desire to be in the public eye or deal with public speaking but was brought into this life by her husband.
JOE BIDEN: “I enjoy Jill welcoming all of you, I echo her welcome. And every time she stands up and speaks, I think about this is a woman who didn't want to be involved in public life and speaking. I wonder what in the hell, I'm voting for her.”
JILL BIDEN: “I’m not running.”
