First lady Jill Biden on Monday scolded reporters for “yelling” at her as they tried to ask her questions about her husband while walking from a coffee shop to her car.
In the video shared by The Washington Post’s senior video reporter JM Rieger, the first lady was asked by a reporter about the growing number of Democrats calling for Biden to drop out of the race.
“Dr. Biden, do you have a message for House Democrats who are calling for your husband to drop out of the race? How do you feel about the state of the race?” a female reporter can be heard shouting.
“Why are you yelling at me? You know me. Don’t yell, just let me talk,” Jill Biden responded.

She then got into her car without answering any questions.
Fox News Digital has reached out to a spokesperson for the first lady for comment.
Biden made three campaign stops on Monday in North Carolina, Florida and Georgia to support her husband’s campaign.
The events are part of the Biden administration’s continuing efforts to allay growing concerns from media experts and Democratic colleagues that the president may no longer be mentally capable of continuing the campaign since his first debate with President Donald Trump in June.
President Biden insists he will continue campaigning with his family.
“As commander in chief, President Biden wakes up every morning ready to work for you. That’s what this election is all about — you. There’s been a lot of talk about this race, but Joe has made it clear he is committed to it,” Jill Biden said at an event in North Carolina.

Biden has also begun to receive more media attention, especially after reports emerged that she has “ultimate influence” on whether he remains in the presidential race. She was featured on the cover of Vogue magazine’s August issue.
