To put it bluntly, Jill Biden’s time as first lady has been a complete train wreck.
Even Jill Biden is on the verge of admitting it. In a full-ranging interview with the Washington Post this week, the first lady confessed, “Let’s just say I was disappointed with how it unfolded” — with “it” being her and Joe’s time in the White House.

He started early with interviews and briefings, and it just keeps going.”
