Last Tuesday night, during the State of the Union address, First Lady Jill Biden drew some attention for an intimate moment with Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff.
The 71-year-old Jill greeting the vice president’s husband by leaning in close to his face and planting a kiss on his lips.
The unexpected display of affection between the two spouses caused quite a stir among viewers across the country, who were taken aback by what they witnessed.
Although it was a fleeting moment, many people took to social media to express their thoughts and opinions about the situation.
The surprise peck quickly became a hot topic of discussion among political analysts and the public alike. While some praised Biden’s bold move as an example of empathy and kindness, others argued that her actions could be perceived as inappropriate or disrespectful to Kamala Harris.
This isn’t the first time that Jill Biden has made headlines for reasons unrelated to her relationship with Joe Biden. In 2021, she garnered controversy after being photographed in a pair of fishnet leggins while leaving Air Force One in Delaware – adding even more fuel to public speculations regarding her behavior towards other men.
Dr. Jill was heckled last summer by a citizen unsatisfied with her husband’s job performance.
“Your husband is the worst president we’ve ever had,” a man shouted at Dr. Jill. Perhaps not hearing the man correctly, she shouted back, “Thank you!”
“You owe us gas money, you owe us gas money,” the man shouted. “You suck!”
Jill Biden’s approval ratings have dropped almost as low as Joe Biden’s in recent months.
