As Biden reached the tarmac, she was greeted by Gov. Spencer Cox and first lady Abby Cox. They exchanged pleasantries before Abby Cox handed her a small paper bag containing a gift. White House staffers opened it near reporters, and it appeared to be a gold bracelet with small beehives on it. Beehives are Utah’s state emblem.

SALT LAKE CITY First lady Jill Biden seemed right at home Wednesday interacting with students and praising teachers at a middle school on the west side of Salt Lake City before heading to a pop-up COVID-19 clinic to encourage Utahns, especially the Hispanic community, to get vaccinated.
A longtime educator, Biden listened to students and teachers in classrooms at Glendale Middle School who have had a rough year trying to manage online and in-person learning because of the ongoing pandemic. What an amazing school this is and the students, the first lady said.
