As first lady, she has lots of control over public events. At the Wilmington courthouse, she’s just the mother of another embattled American family.
WILMINGTON — Hunter Biden’s voice echoed through the courtroom, telling the story of his descent, in 2016, into “next-level bingeing.” Of how he had spend hours and hours engrossed in the “same numbing ritual” of loading and lighting a crack pipe over and over again. Of how “delusional and self-defeating” his drug use was, but there was nothing to be done. Of how using crack creates an “almost limitless appetite for debasement” and “takes you into the darkest recesses of your soul.
She grants few interviews, allowing her public appearances and prepared remarks to speak for her. She maintains a tight policy portfolio of her own — focused on military families, reproductive health and education — and prefers to shine the spotlight on her husband’s agenda and accomplishments. She enforces total privacy around her job as an English instructor at Northern Virginia Community College.
As Hunter’s voice-over described the power of his addiction, his half sister, Ashley Biden, began to silently cry, leaning into the shoulder ofblazer as she dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief. “Ash,” Jill cooed in a whisper, wrapping her arm When Hunter was in the depths of his addiction in early 2019, Jill had been the one to beckon him home for what turned out to be an intervention. Her efforts were poorly received. “I lashed out at my mother for deceiving me,” Hunter wrote in his memoir. She has seldom spoken publicly about Hunter’s struggle with drugs, other than to express her pride of how he’s “rebuilt his life after addiction,” as she told MSNBC in January.
But Jill, of course, isn’t the president, which enables her to be a crucial surrogate for her husband — not in a political capacity but a family one.
