“There's also an important and interesting part about how people have talked about your role, which is how your role changed perceptions of masculinity,” Psaki said. “I’m not sure you planned this, but you’re an incredibly supportive spouse. Was that a development for you? Do you think that’s part of the role you could play as First Gentleman?”
