Jill Biden Catches Herself After Urging WH Audience to ‘Feel Joy Now’ Amid Holidays and Harris Loss: ‘You’re All Reading Into That’
Jill Biden caught herself during a Wednesday event at the White House after having made an ill-considered reference to the “joy” Americans are now feeling entering the holiday season after the 2024 election, claiming attendees were “reading into” her remarks.
The first lady went on a tangent about the “joy” of the holidays — a buzzword that had defined Vice President Kamala Harris’ short-lived campaign — while speaking at a conference on advancing women’s health research.
Jill, 73, urged attendees to take note of the White House décor and “feel, I don’t know, a little, a sense of joy. Because I think we all need like this, you know, we all need to feel joy now.”
“You’re all reading into that!” she blurted out, making the audience laugh.
