While Joe Biden shows an inability to climb stairs, having face-planted no less than three times yesterday trying to board Air Force One, his wife is hitting the road to promote the latest COVID “relief” bill.
Why a first lady is taking on the role of political propagandist is an interesting question.
Traditionally, first ladies head up some mostly non-partisan, pet project and stick to that. To the extent that they have any role in governance, it’s extremely unusual for them to involve themselves with highly political matters. Melania Trump had her no-bullying campaign. Michelle Obama made school lunches taste terrible.
So why is Jill Biden once again pretending she’s an elected official? I’d guess it’s for the same reason she’s done so many “joint” interviews with her husband, appearing with him to be his handler and interject when his mind starts to melt (see Jill and Joe Biden Do Yet Another Joint Interview, and It’s Really Awkard). Not only is Jill nakedly ambitious, far more than any first lady in recent memory, Joe Biden simply doesn’t function at a high enough level to fulfill the duties of his office. Thus, you get Jill running around acting as if she’s actually the president. It’s really, really awkward.
With the actual president unable to go barnstorm the country and promote his big “achievement,” his wife is having to take on that role, while Joe meanders around the White House and heads home to Delaware every weekend. The president isn’t a real president, so Jill is taking the opportunity to play-act as one.
There’s another aspect of this, though. Why is Kamala Harris not being given this role? Remember, under Obama, not only did the president himself travel around promoting his stimulus bill, but he charged a then far more mentally fit Joe Biden with doing the same and pushing certain projects. Harris has found herself mostly sidelined in the first few months of the new administration, presenting a very odd dynamic in which the first lady seems more “out in front” than the vice president.
The depth to which the current president is compromised is hard to fathom. We have a man who can’t climb stairs, still hasn’t done a press conference, skipped the traditional first address to Congress, and struggles to read a teleprompter set on size 40 font for tens minutes at a time. Biden should be the one going out and promoting his new rescue plan. Instead, it’s falling on someone who wasn’t elected, and who, frankly, has no place in promoting such political positions. But that’s the situation we are in, and it’s not going to get any better.
Doc Biden will be ridin’
Propping up her sick husband is elder abuse. Lecturing people is the last thing she should be doing.
we have seen it all before.

Power has no morals.
The ends justify the means.
I’m betting she, and the retard’s family have blackmail.
Crooked Hillary was in the middle of attempting government healthcare takeover and took a bus tour where she was told to go home.
That's true.
Well, Mrs Wilson ran the country since her husband had a stroke. Since Oct 2 1919, until the end of his term in 1921.
Seems like good precedent.
Biden wasn’t elected either ...
.
went up to Hill,
to fetch a pail of money
Joe fell down and broke his crown
and Kamala jumped up and down.
