Summary
Jill Biden said Joe Biden would have been "excoriated" for actions she says are now tolerated in the Trump White House, arguing the press applied a double standard to his four years in office.
At a June 2 event at New York's 92nd Street Y with Whoopi Goldberg, she also said the Biden team may have failed to build closer ties with reporters and be more open.
Biden framed that as one of her regrets, saying the administration could have helped the press see them as "real people" rather than figureheads.
In the same book-tour appearance, she pushed back on Democratic criticism of her memoir's 2024 election material, telling former Biden spokesman Andrew Bates to "call me up, and say it to my face."
