It’s a bit of a side point, but only a physician (and perhaps a dentist) is called “doctor” in normal conversation. All other doctors get that title only when on the job.
And Jill has a doctorate in education. Which is perhaps both the easiest and least useful doctorate of them all.
So let’s knock off the “Doctor Jill” stuff.
Not to mention Ol' Joe sat in on her dissertation defense....
Correction, it is Dr. Taco Jill.

I read her thesis, to the extent that it is readable so you don't have have to.
About what you would expect from a Biden, much of it is cut and paste text from other sources strung together by incoherent, self indulgent BS jargon so at least we know she actually wrote it.
You might find it useful to read the history of the term doctor. The word comes from the Latin verb docere meaning to teach. The doctorate was awarded more than five hundred years ago in Europe. At that time surgeons and physicians were only called doctor if they had a doctoral degree from a university.
Eventually in the 19th century physicians decided they wanted to be called doctor even though they didn’t have the background probably because it sounded more prestigious. Even today at the best medical schools the professors have both the academic degree, Ph.D. and the professional degree, M.D.
