First Lady Jill Biden not only filled a seat in place of her husband President Joe Biden in Japan for the Olympics but also be played the presidential role.
“First Lady Jill Biden will travel to the Opening Ceremony of the 2021 Olympic Summer Games,” the White House confirmed in a statement.
The First Lady will also be holding an official meeting with Japan’s Prime minister Yoshihide Suga and other senior officials inside the government.
The Japanese Newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun reported that the meeting with Biden “sends a message of importance of the relationship with Japan.”
From the Japanese Newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun:
The Japanese and U.S. governments are making arrangements for a visit to Japan by U.S. first lady Jill Biden that would coincide with the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics on July 23, The Yomiuri Shimbun has learned.
The two sides are looking into having the first lady attend the opening ceremony as well as meet with Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and other officials during her stay, according to sources.
If anyone other than Joe is going to be at a diplomatic meeting it should (oh this hurts to say) be Kamala because she is the Vice President; Jill is stepping way outside of her capacity.
The last First Lady to attend the opening ceremony for the Olympics was Michelle Obama and even she just attended as the first lady.
It’s unknown what Joe will do while the boss..er his wife is out of town however, he may be headed to the basement.
It’s a wonder who is getting stuck with babysitting Joe while she’s gone.
