US athletes chant 'Dr. Biden' as first lady cheers swimmers

Athletes on the U.S. swimming team chanted first lady Jill Biden's name as she sat in attendance for their competition at the Tokyo Olympics on Saturday.

The first lady, who is leading the U.S. delegation to the Summer Games, was seated at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre to watch the session, waving at the team.

As members of the team waited for the competition to start, they clapped and chanted “Dr. Biden, Dr. Biden” from the stands, The Associated Press reported.

Earlier Saturday, Biden sat near French President Emmanuel Macron to watch a 3-on-3 game between the U.S. and French women’s basketball teams. She also attended the opening ceremony on Friday night as part of her first solo international trip as first lady.

2. So refreshing! Yay Jill!

Remember when Pence and Mother went to the Olympics and did not stand for any other country’s team on parade except the Americans, despite being surrounded by people who stood for all? What a couple of classless assholes they were. Embarrassing.

3. I was surprised to see her, and could

not help but feel good that she was there. For them. So low-key, and unobtrusive, just really frigging nice.
