Why Did Jill Biden Lead a Cabinet Meeting?

Good luck if you want to know who is in charge of the country—it sure is not President Joe Biden. 

First Lady Jill Biden handled most of her 81-year-old husband’s presidential duties on Friday during what may have been his last cabinet meeting. She led the meeting after Biden made quick introductory remarks, during which he spent most of the two minutes talking about his wife.

The president glossed over a short list of tasks he plans to tackle before his time in the White House is over, such as the “Need for Congress to pass a continued resolution.” 

“It’s critical; we have ten days for Congress to pass a short-term funding bill,” he said before turning the room’s attention to his wife— sitting at the head of the table. 

Jill Biden used her time to advocate for women’s health-related funding allocations and initiatives. 

It is also worth noting that Biden’s honorary legislation folders have Jill Biden’s signature embossed on the front. She also hosted a Rose Garden event without Biden and gave remarks from a podium only presidents usually use.

The First Lady has been accused of "running the show," with reports noting she pressured her husband to stay in the 2024 race before he was forced to drop out.
