Did they do it, or did they not? For a bizarre moment just before Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, his wife Jill Biden stole the show by appearing to plant a kiss smack on the vice president’s lips.
After sweeping into Congress to applause, the first lady walked over to the second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, and clasped his hand.
They then leaned in for a friendly embrace, but at least one of them appears to have miscalculated, resulting in a kiss either on, or very close to, the lips.

Smooch of the Union,” the tabloid New York Post mocked, zooming in on images of what it claimed was unquestionably a kiss on the mouth.
Other close-ups of the encounter appeared to show Biden kissing Harris, Kamala’s husband, just to the side of his mouth.
Fox News, a steadfast opponent of Biden’s administration, jumped on the apparent error without a doubt.
Likewise delighted, Kellyanne Conway, a former adviser to Donald Trump, posted a photo of the kiss with the caption, “Wow, Covid really is gone.”
