Jill Biden's Applause Line Fails to Impress Audience.
First Lady Jill Biden's attempt at an applause line during her speech at the Reagan Institute Summit on Education fell flat, leading her to prod the audience to clap. She said, "I've visited red states and blue states and I've found that the common values that unite us are deeper than our divisions." The annual conference hosts education leaders from across the country and aims to examine policy and practice from early childhood through postsecondary education and beyond. Social media users were quick to compare the first lady's statement to that of former Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush, who memorably urged his supporters to "please clap" at a campaign event during the 2016 election.
