Jill the Gatekeeper: The first lady has a heavy hand in picking Biden’s inner circle
ByEden Villalovas
First lady Jill Biden is described in a new book as being actively involved in President Joe Biden‘s staffing, campaigning, and policymaking, as well as acting as a defender for her husband.
Katie Rogers, a New York Times journalist, authored American Woman, looking into the history of the modern first lady, from Hillary Clinton to Melania Trump to Jill Biden. The book details Jill Biden’s influence in the White House and the president’s reelection bid as a highly-trained political spouse.
In an interview with Politico’s Playbook Deep Dive podcast, Rogers is asked about Jill Biden’s “somewhat fraught relationship” with Vice President Kamala Harris. Roger writes about the first lady attending a March 2022 fundraiser in San Francisco, Harris’s domain, in which attendees praised the vice president. Jill Biden allegedly shifted the conversation to highlight Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, her husband’s pick for the Supreme Court.
“The one thing I would just say to that is Joe Biden’s inner circle is as much Jill’s domain as it is his,” Rogers said. “She’s really a gatekeeper for the people who are closest to him, even though she’s not in the West Wing. She’s not stationed there holding open the door to the Oval.”

No wonder his administration is full of fools.
