Jill Biden Awkwardly Steps in After Joe Biden Mangles Announcement About the ‘First Gentleman'

In keeping with the “we need to be able to laugh in order to keep from crying” theme I’ve been trying to go for in my pieces about the Biden administration, we turn to an announcement President Biden gave during an “Equal Pay” event at the White House that managed to go off the rails pretty fast.
First, the not-so-great news: Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff, otherwise known as the “Second Gentleman,” has tested positive for COVID-19. According to multiple media reports, Harris herself – who the White House says tested negative Tuesday – was around Biden as recently as earlier in the day Tuesday:
The vice president was with Biden earlier Tuesday, when the president signed the $1.5 trillion spending bill. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on when Biden was last tested.
Emhoff’s most recent public appearance was Tuesday afternoon at the Marvin Gaye Greening Center communal garden in Washington, D.C. where he “interacted with the center’s staff and members of the press.” Emhoff becomes the first member of the first or second families in this administration (that we know of) to come down with the coronavirus.
Harris and Emhoff both were scheduled to make appearances at the “Equal Pay” day event, but after news of the positive test got out, they decided not to attend “out of an abundance of caution,” per Harris spokesperson Sabrina Singh.
