Michelle Obama wishes ‘great friend’ Jill Biden happy birthday

Former first lady Michelle Obama took to Twitter to wish the current first lady Jill Biden a happy birthday.

“Happy birthday, @DrBiden! You’re such a great friend—and even better wife, mom, and grandmother. Thank you for leading with such grace and empathy, and for being so authentically you,” Obama tweeted on Thursday.

“Here’s to more laughing, more singing, and good times in the months and years ahead,” Obama added.

Obama and Biden spent time together as the first and second lady during former President Obama’s presidency.

Jill Biden turned 70 years old on Thursday while on a trip with President Biden to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

The couple is staying at a beach house that was bought after the death of their son in 2015 and will be there until Friday.

There are two signs in front of the house that say “Forever Jill” and “Beau’s gift.”

Joe and Jill Biden have been together for 43 years and will celebrate their 44th wedding anniversary on June 17.
