CNN, NEWS 12 NEW JERSEY LLC, KTUL, WFTS, WLKY, WBKO, KTUU, KSAT, KMBCBy Kate Bennett, CNNFirst lady Jill Biden visited Kentucky last Friday, a state that her husband, President Joe Biden, did not win in the 2020 election. (She beats out Bess Truman, Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush, who were each 67 when they exited the White House.) The President has been to 28 states, according to longtime White House correspondent and informal presidential fact-checker Mark Knoller, who meticulously counts such things, versus the first lady’s 35. While most Americans might struggle if put on the spot to answer what Jill Biden’s top-line initiatives are, they would likely immediately identify her as a visible, caring and compassionate first lady. Members of the first lady’s office traveled to several countries in Africa on a pre-advance trip in September, but no decisions have been made, said a person familiar with White House travel.
