Some might say Jill Biden has been a first lady in the making for 40 years.
The 69-year-old is no stranger to public life, having married President-elect Joe Biden when he was still a junior senator from Delaware in 1977. Since then, Biden has ascended with her husband to the highest ranks of political office, undergoing the challenges and demands of being a political wife.
Already having national recognition from her eight years as second lady during her husband's tenure as vice president from 2009-2017, Biden is now preparing to become the country's leading woman as first lady, a position those closest to her say is no surprise.
"The four of us are amazed, like, gee, our sister could be first lady. But ... first lady is a natural transition for her," Biden's sister, Bonny Jacobs, told the Philadelphia Inquirer a month before Election Day.
