During a promotional event for her first book, "A View from the East Wing," Jill Biden was fielding questions from the audience when her husband, former President Joe Biden, made an unexpected appearance. Standing at the edge of the stage, the 83-year-old Biden, without a microphone, declared, "I have a question." His wife, visibly amused, responded, "Joe has a question? As if you couldn't ask it later?"

Biden then posed his question: "Who do you love most in the whole world?" Jill Biden, playing along, answered, "Whoopi," referring to moderator Whoopi Goldberg, which drew laughter from the crowd. After a moment, she turned to her husband and asked, "I love you the most, Joe. Was that it? Is that the answer you wanted to hear?" The former president simply replied, "That's overwhelming, isn't it?"
