Jill Biden Details Awkward Inauguration Car Ride With First Lady Melania Trump: ‘Frosty’
The memoir says an aide had to keep the conversation going as Melania Trump gave Jill Biden clipped answers and steered talk to the weather.
- Former First Lady Jill Biden reveals in her new memoir, 'View from the East Wing,' that a car ride with Melania Trump on January 20, 2025, was 'frosty' as they traveled to Donald Trump's second inauguration.
- This tension reflects a broader history of broken protocol; Melania Trump declined to host Jill Biden for a tour after the 2020 election, and Donald Trump skipped the 2021 inauguration—the first outgoing president in roughly 150 years to do so.
- During the ride, inauguration committee member John Bessler attempted to keep conversation flowing, but Jill Biden writes that Melania Trump remained fixed on 'weather only' topics while an aide began 'pelting' them with questions.
- Beyond the tension with Melania Trump, the memoir documents Jill Biden's friendships with royals like Camilla and Kate Middleton, whom she described as 'instantly likeable' and 'seemed so grounded.'
- Released on Tuesday, June 2, 'View from the East Wing' chronicles Jill Biden's four years as First Lady, offering an intimate look at her role in the White House and personal reflections.
