Former US First Lady Jill Biden accused the media of applying a "double standard" when covering her husband Joe Biden's presidency compared with how it now covers Donald Trump's administration. She claimed that if Joe Biden had done some of the things currently happening in the White House, he would have been "excoriated" by the press, suggesting reporters are treating Trump more leniently than they treated her husband.

The comments came during an interview in which Jill Biden was questioned by Whoopi Goldberg about whether her husband received fair press coverage during his time in office. The remarks appear as part of wider publicity linked to her husband's forthcoming memoir, amid ongoing debate over how the media has portrayed the Biden and Trump presidencies.
