Jill Biden suffers injury to her foot on Hawaii beach – months after Joe fractured his own foot

JILL Biden has suffered an injury to her foot on a beach in Hawaii – months after husband Joe fractured his own foot.

The first lady, 70, is said to have "stepped on an object on the beach" while visiting Hawaii for an official event.

The president will join her at the hospital on Thursday, a White House spokesperson said.

Press Secretary to the First Lady of the United States Michael LaRosa said: "Last weekend, prior to her two official events in Hawaii, @FLOTUS stepped on an object on the beach which became lodged in her left foot.

"She will undergo a procedure today at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to remove the object. @POTUS will join her."

Jill had been in Tokyo for the opening ceremony of the Olympics before stopping off to meet military families in Hawaii.

During her time in Hawaii, she also visited a pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic in Waipahu before the barbecue at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.

In April of this year Jill was said to be recovering after Joe took her for a mystery "medical procedure" in a last-minute schedule change.

Following the trip, the White House confirmed that Dr Biden "tolerated the procedure well."

The president fractured his foot while playing with his German Shepherd in November last year.

Dr Kevin O'Connor said: "Follow-up CT scan confirmed hairline (small) fractures of President-elect Biden’s lateral and intermediate cuneiform bones, which are in the mid-foot."

After an initial examination, Biden was sent to an orthopedist for a CT scan, which revealed the fracture.

Biden was forced to wear the protective boot for "several weeks" after x-rays revealed a "hairline fracture" in his foot.

The White House was then put on the defensive in March regarding Biden's health after he was seen on video tripping on the stairs up to Air Force One.
