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 Jill Biden arrived. She planted a friendly kiss, smack on Doug’s lips, which has now become a thing on social media, according to TMZ.
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 Joe Biden circles a 2nd bid for President of the United States, which he’s expected to announce in a couple of 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 have 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.
