Jill Biden Visits North Carolina
Today, we're going to head into a rather heated moment involving First Lady Jill Biden and the media. During a campaign stop on Monday, Jill Biden found herself at the center of a brief but tense exchange with reporters.
The incident occurred as the First Lady was walking from a coffee shop to her car. In a video shared by Washington Post senior video journalist JM Rieger, a female reporter can be heard shouting a question about the growing number of Democrats calling for President Joe Biden to drop out of the race. The reporter asked, "Dr. Biden, do you have any message to House Democrats who are calling for your husband to drop out of the race? How are you feeling about the state of the race?"

Jill Biden responded directly and firmly: "Why are you screaming at me? You know me. Don't scream at me, just let me talk." She then entered her vehicle without addressing the question further.
Fox News Digital reached out to the First Lady’s press secretary for a comment, but no response has been reported yet.
This moment happened during a busy day for Jill Biden, as she made three campaign stops across North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia to support her husband’s re-election bid. These efforts are part of a broader push by the Biden administration to counter growing concerns from media pundits and Democratic colleagues regarding President Biden's mental fitness to continue in the race.

Despite these concerns, President Biden and his family remain steadfast in their commitment to the campaign. Jill Biden, speaking at an event in North Carolina, emphasized her husband's dedication: "As commander in chief, President Biden wakes up every morning ready to work for you. That's what this election is all about. You. For all the talk out there about this race, Joe has made it clear that he's all in."
In addition to her campaign efforts, Jill Biden has been receiving increased media attention. Reports have suggested that she is the "ultimate influence" on whether the president should remain in the race. She was also featured on the cover of the August issue of Vogue, further highlighting her prominent role in the campaign.
