First Lady Jill Biden may have played her husband’s hand when it comes to the 2024 ticket … and it all comes down to a kiss.
Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff was in the VIP section of the House, up in the gallery when the First Lady arrived. She planted a friendly kiss, smack on Doug’s lips, which has now become a thing on social media.
The smooch is an old-fashioned, polite gesture for sure, but there could be political implications as well.
There have been rumblings within the Democratic Party about the Veep’s fate as JB circles a 2nd bid for POTUS, which he’s expected to announce in a couple weeks. Some Dems think Harris would be a drag on the ticket and want him to dump her and go with a new running mate.
Now it’s certainly possible we and others may be reading too much into the kiss, but Jill and Joe know what time it is … they’ve certainly been around long enough to know image matters. The fact that Jill gave Doug a Kay Jewelers greeting suggests the Prez and the Veep are tight … making a ticket change less likely.
Stay tuned
