Jill Biden memoir shares frosty encounter with Melania 'who only wanted to talk about the weather' [View all]
Former first lady Jill Biden has described a frosty encounter with her successor, Melania Trump, during Donald Trump’s inauguration in her newly released memoir.
In the penultimate chapter of A View from the East Wing, Dr Biden details the moments before the handover between her husband Joe and his successor on January 20 2025, after months of ill-tempered clashes on the campaign trail.
Describing a bitterly cold winter’s day, the Democrat explained how even her choice of outfit was made with a view to appeasing the Trumps.
“The blue was an obvious political choice, but purple signified unity. I still believe in that,” she wrote, after deciding between two Ralph Lauren suits for the ceremony.

Jill Biden says she's sorry she didn't talk more about son Hunter's drug addiction
NEW YORK (AP) — Jill Biden says she's sorry she didn't talk more about her son Hunter’s drug addiction during her time in the White House, explaining that she now realizes that being open about his substance abuse and his recovery can offer hope to others in the same situation.
In a wide-ranging interview with “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg to promote her White House memoir, the former first lady said Tuesday that she had put life in perspective after her husband, former President Joe Biden, was diagnosed with prostate cancer that spread to his bones.
She said she is no longer angry about the way Democrats pressured her husband to end his reelection bid after performing disastrously in a 2024 debate against Republican Donald Trump.
“No, I’m not angry. I mean, what’s the purpose of anger now?” Jill Biden said at the first event for her book, held at the 92nd Street Y in New York following publication earlier Tuesday.
