Jill Biden Slams Biden's Dropping Out, Lands Juicy Job at Milken Institute
Jill Biden secures fresh employment, transitioning after four-year stint as the First Lady
Jill Biden, the outgoing First Lady, told ABC News that President Biden's decision to pull out of the re-election race was the "right call." During an interview aired on Monday, the former First Lady was as blunt as a sledgehammer.
But don't worry, folks, Jill's got a new gig! Following her stint in the White House, she's now leading a cool new initiative at the Milken Institute, based in sunny Santa Monica. This think tank focuses on financial, physical, mental, and environmental health, and aims to bring together the best minds to tackle some of our most pressing global issues[1][2].
"From endometriosis to healthy aging, the White House Initiative on Women's Health Research made important investments in research and development, while making clear it will take collaboration across industries to bring these innovations to scale," Jill said, according to a Milken Institute press release published on April 29[2]. "I'm thrilled to join the Milken Institute as we unite leaders around a shared mission: for women everywhere to benefit from the lifesaving, world-changing research we know is possible."
Jill, a teacher with a doctorate in education, spent her White House tenure focusing on the Biden Cancer Moonshot, supporting veteran families and caregivers through the Joining Forces initiative, and launching the White House Initiative on Women's Health Research[4].
At the Milken Institute, she'll be serving as the chair of the Women's Health Network. This initiative aims to galvanize participation, collaboration, and shared action to improve women's health and wellbeing[2].
Last year, President Biden signed a presidential memorandum that launched the White House Initiative on Women's Health Research, with Jill at the helm. This initiative worked to beef up funding for and research into women's health, as too many medical studies had focused on men and left women out[5].
But enough about the past! Jill's new role comes as political books flood the market, with many questioning President Biden's mental acuity and age. And let's be honest, Joe's not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed[6].
Besides, Jill's been busy. She wrapped up her final semester as a professor at Northern Virginia Community College in December 2024, just in time for her husband's exit from the Oval Office[6].
