First Lady Jill Biden on Monday said it was the “right call” for her husband, President Joe Biden, to announce in July that he is not running for reelection.

In an interview with ABC News’s “Good Morning America,” the first lady said that “it was the right call,” referring to her husband’s decision. She made the remark as she was giving ABC a tour of the White House, which includes new exhibits and a new room added to the tour list.
