Joe and Jill's long summer
CNN
This summer has not been an easy one for President Joe Biden, and no one feels that more than Jill Biden.

Sequestered in Delaware for the last 12 days, Jill Biden's summer has not gone exactly as planned either. Though in frequent contact with the President, the first lady is staying away from the White House and has not seen her husband in person since July 20. She had been scheduled to meet up with him over the weekend in Wilmington, but the rebound of his illness kept the couple apart -- something the Bidens, married 45 years, do not like to be for more than a couple of days, if they can help it.
