1. I've always admired Jill Biden. I hate that there are some trying to paint her as a divisive figure

Wednesday

amid constant discord with Kamala Harris (or conversely painting Kamala Harris as that divisive figure with Jill Biden)... I'm sure there are those with opinions in either direction on the matter, but I like them both and can understand Jill's protective instincts toward Joe Biden. But, I wasn't there and have no way to sort out the claims.

Best wishes to both Jill and Joe Biden.
