WASHINGTON (AP) — Jill Biden has trained her teacher’s eye on the White House public tour and made some additions to teach visitors more about the mansion’s history and events that unfolded in some of its famous rooms. She has added a new stop on the tour: the Diplomatic Reception Room. Presidents often use that entrance on the south side of the building to welcome visiting dignitaries. They also use it to go to and from the motorcade or the helicopter. Some 10,000 visitors tour the White House each week. Biden unveiled the updated tour on Monday. Tuesday’s visitors will be the first to experience it.
