At Twitchy reported, we missed President Joe Biden at his favorite event, the White House's Pride Month picnic on the lawn. This year, Dr. Jill Biden was in charge of the whole thing, giving the speech outside a White House painted in pride colors:

That sounds like a speech that was written for the president. In fact, at a North Carolina rally the day after the debate, Dr. Jill did most of the talking, insisting that "what you saw last night on the debate stage was Joe Biden." What we saw was Nurse Jill helping the president down a single step.
The first lady has been very busy since the debate, holding events on her own. According to New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers, Biden supporters were there to be assured that he was going to be the nominee. And Dr. Jill will be the first one to tell you he is not stepping aside.
Caught one Biden voter walking away from the Jill Biden event putting her hand on her chest and saying to her mom, “okay, that felt good. We’re good.” One of several here who said they came to see the First Lady and determine from her energy if Joe Biden was still in the race.

So they went to watch First Lady MacBeth, and after hearing from Edith Wilson, they decide that a guy who wasn't even set to speak there is OK?

What race exactly is Jill running in?

Is she now the candidate?

It would be nice if the presumptive nominee could evoke that same response in voters. Because Jill Biden is not on the ballot.

Jill Biden: determined to ride her demented husband into the grave for five more minutes of power.

An emotional woman made her feel good though, so all good.

The sad thing is that people like this are allowed to vote, and that we have to share a country with them.

The same people who have no problem with Jill Biden speaking for President Biden are the same ones who will tell you Hunter Biden's activities don't matter because he wasn't running for president.

Pivot is happening in real time, back to covering Biden using feelings and scripts, debate will be forgotten.

The first lady is a doctor after all, and if anyone can vouch for her husband's ability to do the job for four more years, it's her.
