Jill Biden recently revealed that being first lady of the United States is harder than she thought it would be.
In an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning” set to air this weekend, she opened up about the challenges of her role.
“I think it’s a little harder than I imagined,” the first lady said. “It’s not like a job that you do, it’s a lifestyle that you live.”

The 70-year-old reflected on how her position is different from many other jobs.
“It’s not something you leave at 5 o’clock or at 3 o’clock,” she told the network. “It’s 24 hours a day.”
According to the White House, the first lady focuses on issues such as advocating for military families and fighting cancer.
