President Joe Biden might have stood down from the 2024 race for the White House but that doesn’t mean first lady Jill Biden is giving up on any of her gilded diplomatic ambitions carried out in his name. Far from it.
She will still lead the American delegation at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris, France, later this week as scheduled.
It will repeat her efforts at the last Olympic Games in Tokyo which she also attended solo.
Rumors had been swirling that Jill, 73, could pull out or be replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris, now the presumptive Democratic nominee, Time magazine reports.

“First Lady Paris-Bound for Olympics to Lead American Delegation”
Actual President aka First Lady Paris-Bound for Olympics to Lead American Delegation
There, fixed it
Cashin’ in on her taxpayer paid Paris trip before Joe Pedo screws up her European Vacations schedule.
She’d she be at her husband’s side? What a b***h.
So she can lead lesbian athletes in taking a knee and ignoring the National Anthem?
Now we have a team doctor. Yay!
Anything but speaking ,LOL
Wonder how joe feels knowing his wife doesn’t give a rats @$$ about him.
🤔
You got that right.
She will take the Gold in the knee pad competition.
Whoops...I thought Harris was going.
Remember Hillary cleaning out the White House when she left?
Suck as much money from the taxpayer as possible before she leaves.
The Executive Office of the President employs 1800 tax-paid individuals, some 584 work in the WH.

Dr. Jill Biden supposedly has 12 staffers including press, communication, and advance trip directors; media coordinators and schedulers. There are senior advisors, and even a couple of social secretaries. Five of the employees also serve the president in some capacity. In 2009, former First Lady Michelle Obama faced criticism for her twenty-four assistants, advisors, aides, and social secretaries. Laura Bush had a staff of eighteen. In 2017, Melania Trump, in her first year, had a staff of five employees.
These 12 White House employees serving First Lady Dr. Jill Biden (five also serve the president in some capacity) cost taxpayers $1.35 million and include:
Julissa Reynoso Pantaleon, Chief of Staff to the First Lady
and White House Gender Policy co-chair ($180,000);
Elizabeth Alexander, Director of Communications for the First Lady ($155,000);
Carlos Elizondo, Social Secretary ($155,000)
Deputy Social Secretary, Liz Hart ($80,000)
Press Secretary, Michael LaRosa, $100,000
Special Initiative Czars——Starting in 2009, President Obama came under fire for hiring special initiative czars. From 2017-2020, we found no evidence of “czars” on Trump’s payroll. However, Biden has czar(ed) up – naming at least 21 czars to date, with plans to fill 55 positions. These include: National Climate Advisor Regina McCarthy ($180,000) and a Special Envoy for Climate, John Kerry – who is listed in press accounts, but doesn’t appear in the payroll data. Others include Jeff Zients ($36,000), the COVID-19 czar. Critics at Politico have already questioned, “How many czars does the Biden administration need?”
Starting in 2015, President Obama instituted a new fellowship – a White House Leadership Development program with an initial class of sixteen. During the Trump years, the program was dormant. On June 4th, Biden appointed 22 members to the fellowship program. None of these appear in the payroll disclosure.
Like most presidents, Joe Biden doesn’t donate his salary. Donald Trump was the first since John F. Kennedy to donate his pre-tax quarterly salary to government agencies. Following tradition, Dr. Jill Biden isn’t paid as First Lady. However, she is the 1st First Lady to maintain an outside income – her government salary as a community college professor at Northern Virginia Community College.
So much for the primacy of sport.
Didn’t the Clintons get caught stealing things from there and then they acted like oops, they thought it was theirs?
My gosh ... she’s leaving her dying husband’s bedside?
Whatta complete beeotch.
But, we already knew that. She’s just further confirmed.
Douglas is headed to gay paree?
