Read our privacy policy “Disappointing” is the word First Lady Dr. Jill Biden used to describe how she feels about the way her husband, President Joe Biden, was treated by Democratic Party leaders during the 2024 presidential campaign. “We were friends for 50 years,” Jill Biden told The Washington Post in what is likely her final interview before leaving the White House next week. Mary Doody, the former assistant dean at Delaware Technical Community College and friend of Jill Biden’s, told The Post that the First Lady was talking “a lot” about how “disrespectful” it was of Democrats to push Biden out. Memorably, Jill Biden attended nearly every day of her son, Hunter Biden’s, federal gun charges trial even when completing First Lady duties.
