The LSU women’s basketball team won the NCAA National Championship Sunday night. The Lady Tigers beat Iowa 102-85, earning themselves a trip to the White House. But the meeting between First Lady Jill Biden and LSU’s star player, Angel Reese, might be a little frosty, as Jill Biden suggested the Iowa girls tag along for the visit, too.
“I know we’ll have the champions come to the White House, we always do,” Jill Biden said yesterday. “So, we hope LSU will come. But, you know, I’m going to tell Joe I think Iowa should come, too, because they played such a good game.”
It seems that either Joe doesn’t give a darn what Jill thinks, or else he forgot her suggestion already. The Associated Press points out that in his tweet congratulating the winners, President Biden does not mention the runners-up being invited to the White House. And Reese, continuing to command headlines for her outspokenness, laughed at Jill Biden extending an invitation to Iowa and tweeted that she would rather visit Michelle Obama’s house.
