First lady Jill Biden scolded reporters for "screaming" at her Monday as one tried to ask a question about her husband as she walked from a coffee shop to the car.
In a video shared by Washington Post senior video journalist JM Rieger, the first lady was confronted by a reporter who asked her about the growing number of Democrats calling for Biden to leave the race.
"Dr. Biden, do you have any message to House Democrats who are calling for your husband to drop out of the race? How are you feeling about the state of the race?" a female reporter could be heard shouting.

"Why are you screaming at me? You know me. Don't scream at me, just let me talk," Jill Biden responded.

Fox News Digital reached out to the first lady’s press secretary for a comment.
Jill Biden made three campaign stops across North Carolina, Florida and Georgia to help campaign for her husband on Monday.
These multiple events are part of ongoing efforts by the Biden administration to push back on growing concerns from media pundits and Democrat colleagues that the president is no longer mentally capable of staying in the race since his first debate against Donald Trump in June.

President Biden, along with his family, have insisted that he will stay in the race.
"As commander in chief, President Biden wakes up every morning ready to work for you. That's what this election is all about. You. For all the talk out there about this race, Joe has made it clear that he's all in," Jill Biden said during her North Carolina event.
