PINCH POTUS: Jill in for Joe, First Lady Off to London for King Charles' Coronation

They won’t get Joe —but Jill is on the way.

According to a report from Fox News, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden will attend the coronation of King Charles III on Saturday; “Headed to the U.K. for the Coronation of King Charles III — the first in 70 years!” the first lady wrote in an Instagram.

“It’s an honor to represent the United States for this historic moment and celebrate the special relationship between our countries.”

Guess Joe had better things to do. Former President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump suggested that President Biden lacked the energy to make the trip —physically, he couldn’t do it.

From Fox News:

Over 2,000 guests including many heads of state, will gather at Westminster Abbey for the coronation, scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 6 and starts at 11 a.m. in London, which is 6 a.m. Eastern Time.

The White House commented on President Biden’s absence noting that no U.S. president has attended any of the seven coronations of a British monarch since the country declared independence in 1776.

In June 1953, former President Dwight D. Eisenhower did not travel to Queen Elizabeth’s crowning. Instead, he sent a delegation on his behalf including the former Secretary of State George Marshall; Gen. Omar Bradley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and then-California Gov. Earl Warren.

“The president had about a 25-minute, 30-minute call with King Charles III, during which he congratulated the King — I think we put that out last night — to his upcoming coronation, and they had a very friendly conversation,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told one reporter earlier this week who asked why Biden was not attending as head of state. “They have a good relationship with the King. He talked about how he enjoyed meeting — visiting — the Queen, I should say, back in 2021 — he and the first lady, at Windsor. And he hoped to visit again soon.”

Headed to the U.K. for the Coronation of King Charles III – the first in 70 years!
