In an exclusive excerpt from Katie Rogers' upcoming book, "American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady, from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden," President Joe Biden opens up about the secret ingredient behind his successful marriage with First Lady Jill Biden. The revelation that "good sex" is a cornerstone of their enduring bond has sparked reactions from netizens and added a surprising dimension to the public perception of the presidential couple.
President Biden, known for his public displays of affection towards Jill, often shares moments of romance, emphasizing the importance of their relationship despite the pressures of the White House. From kisses before boarding Air Force One to enjoying date nights, the Bidens project an image of a strong and loving partnership. Even his introduction as "Jill's husband" signifies the centrality of their relationship in his identity.
The candidness of Biden's revelation, as detailed in Rogers' book, has raised eyebrows and reportedly even infuriated Jill Biden. The disclosure, although amusing to some, underscores the depth of love and commitment that has been a constant theme throughout Biden's political career.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time Biden has prioritized his family and marital intimacy over political ambitions. In 2006, when questioned about pursuing the Democratic nomination, he responded, "I'd rather be at home making love to my wife while my children are asleep." His spokesman later clarified that this statement was evidence of Biden's lack of egotistical motives in politics and emphasized his profound love for Jill.
The revelation about the importance of "good sex" in their marriage has triggered varied reactions from netizens. Some express disbelief, mocking Biden's physical abilities, while others question the appropriateness of discussing intimate details in the context of the presidency.
