Tonight of course is the first State of the Union address, or more appropriately the state of the slur. Normally family members sit with president’s family at the State of the Union. Jill Biden will be sitting with Biden family members, except for one glaring absence. No Hunter Biden. Gee, I wonder why, especially after his former business partner was sentenced to jail for defrauding a Native American tribe. Here’s who will be sitting with “Doctor Jill”:
Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff
Valerie Biden Owens, President Biden’s younger sister
Oksana Markarova, Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States
Joseph “JoJo” Burgess, a 20-year member of United Steelworkers Local 1557
Joshua Davis, a 7th grade student at Swift Creek Middle School and diabetes advocate
Refynd Duro, a progressive care unit nurse at The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center
Patrick “Pat” Gelsinger, CEO of Intel
Frances Haugen, the Facebook whistleblower and the company’s former lead product manager on civic misinformation
Melissa Isaac, the Gizhwaasod (Protector of the Young) at the Michigan Department of Education’s Indigenous Education Initiative
Danielle Robinson, the surviving spouse of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson
Kezia Rodriguez, a student-parent at Bergen Community College
Where’s Hunter?
