First Lady Jill Biden Reportedly Leading Pushback Amid Democratic Party Tensions and Hunter Biden Controversy
The drama in Washington DC is far from over, and First Lady Jill Biden is reportedly leading the charge to settle scores and take aim at those she believes have wronged her husband, President Joe Biden. Sources suggest Jill is livid with the way things have unfolded, particularly in how her husband’s presidency and political career have been handled.
“Jill views Democrats on Capitol Hill, the [wider] party, the Obamas, staff inside and outside the White House, the media, and all of Washington DC with such misguided resentment that I can’t imagine she [isn’t] encouraging [Joe] to burn the whole thing down despite his better judgment,” an insider told Radar Online.
This apparent frustration has led Jill to encourage her husband to make bold moves, targeting everyone from the media to former allies in the Democratic Party. A key issue for Jill is how the Democratic Party dealt with Joe’s controversial pardon of their son, Hunter Biden.
President Biden had once publicly vowed not to pardon Hunter, but Jill reportedly played a significant role in convincing Joe to grant him clemency before leaving office. “Hunter has no greater defender than Jill,” a source claimed, with another adding, “Once it became clear that the Justice Department was dead set on jail time, this was always how it was ending.”
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is reportedly among the first on Jill’s list. Insiders say Pelosi played a part in trying to push Joe out of the 2024 election, even going so far as to personally call the president to ask him to step aside.
In retaliation, Jill allegedly made a statement by seating Pelosi far away from the Bidens during the annual Kennedy Center Honors, while Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, sat front and center in the presidential box. Observers noticed a palpable icy vibe, with Joe and Jill seemingly avoiding any eye contact with Harris and Emhoff.
The ongoing tensions seem to be a reflection of deeper rifts within the Democratic Party. Democratic mega-donor John Morgan described it as a “palace coup” against Biden, citing efforts from figures like George Clooney and Pelosi.
“I think he got pissed off [and] said, ‘F*** you’ and gave us Harris,” Morgan stated, pointing to the delayed endorsement of Kamala Harris by Barack Obama as another sign of the internal conflict. Despite the drama, President Biden moved forward with significant actions, including granting clemency to 1,500 individuals and pardoning 39 others in what is now the largest single-day clemency action in U.S. history.
Meanwhile, Jill Biden’s extravagant holiday decorations, featuring 83 Christmas trees and 165,000 lights, have also faced criticism, with some labeling them “tacky” and a “circus freak show.” As tensions within the Democratic establishment continue to simmer, it’s clear that Jill Biden’s influence on her husband and his presidency remains a powerful force.
