WASHINGTON—First Lady Jill Biden is doing well following her skin surgery, President Joe Biden told reporters on Thursday, one day after cancerous skin lesions were removed from her face and chest.

“She’s doing really well. She was under a long time,” the president said. “She’s up. We had breakfast this morning. She’s recovering.”
