They either did or didn’t. As Joe Biden was getting ready to give his State of the Union address, his wife Jill Biden briefly stole the stage by giving the vice president’s spouse what appeared to be a kiss on the lips. In an instant, the first lady approached Doug Emhoff, the second guy, and gripped his hand after storming into Congress to applause.
“Smooch of the Union,” teased the New York Post tabloid on Jill Biden’s act
They then went in for a friendly embrace in a photo-worthy moment, but it seems like one of them misjudged the distance and the result was a kiss on, or very, very close to, the lips. “Smooch of the Union,” teased the New York Post tabloid — zooming in on photos of what it declared without a doubt to have been a kiss on the mouth.
Other close-ups of the encounter appeared to reveal that Biden kissed Harris, the husband of Kamala Harris, slightly to the side of the mouth. However, Fox News, a vocal opponent of Vice President Biden’s administration, immediately capitalized on the apparent error. Kellyanne Conway, a former adviser to Donald Trump, also delightedly shared a photo of the kiss with the caption, “Wow, Covid really is over.”
