A report from The New York Times detailed how Jill isn't afraid to speak up if she feels his staff has not done right by the president, citing the presser and how members on his team were rehashing the appearance in the Treaty Room when she walked in.

"She pointedly asked the group, which included the president, why nobody stepped in to stop it, according to a person who was in the room. Where was the person, she demanded, who was supposed to end the news conference?" per the publication.

The article also noted how she has been her husband's "staunchest defender on the campaign trail," boasting of what he's accomplished and always eager to change a naysayer's mind.

This past weekend, however, she was reportedly not given the warmest welcome during her appearance at the NFL game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys.

Dr. Biden served as the Eagles' honorary captain on Sunday with the hopes of promoting the Biden Administration's Cancer Moonshot initiative.

Videos captured amidst the game appeared to show attendees loudly booing her during the toss and again when she was shown on the Jumbotron.
