Jill Biden and Dough Emhoff's tactile display during President Joe Biden's final Oval Office speech may have raised eyebrows online, but it wasn't surprising.

The sudden warmth was shocking, considering how frosty things had been between Jill Biden and Kamala Harris just a week earlier at Jimmy Carter’s funeral

Reports have surfaced throughout Joe Biden’s presidency that the first lady and the vice president did not get along. In 2022, for instance, a newly released book claimed that Jill Biden did not want Harris on the ticket after what she said about her husband during the 2020 Democratic debates.

The first lady took her seat next to Harris with nary an acknowledgement or glance toward the vice president and second gentleman.

President Biden, in his farewell address to the nation, said there is a "short distance between peril and possibility."

This oligarchy 'literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead,' the president said.

Obama, who attended Carter's funeral without his wife, Michelle, shared a second-row pew with former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, along with their spouses. President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden arrived last and sat in the pew just in front of them.

In an open letter to the American public ahead of the speech, Biden alluded to the fact that a central promise of his 2020 campaign remains unfulfilled.

Inside Washington National Cathedral, the five men who've occupied the Oval Office since 1993 convened for a rare moment together at Jimmy Carter’s state funeral.
