Jill Biden's Awkward Jeb Bush-like Blunder: "Thought You Might Clap"

First Lady Jill Biden experienced an awkward moment during a speech at the Reagan Institute Summit on Education in Washington, DC, when her applause line fell flat. After saying, "I’ve visited red states and blue states and I’ve found that the common values that unite us are deeper than our divisions," she paused and then said, "And, um, I thought you might clap for that," drawing laughs and applause. This moment was reminiscent of former Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush's "please clap" moment during his campaign in 2016.
