First lady Jill Biden underwent a “successful” medical procedure late Thursday to remove debris lodged in her left foot from a puncture wound she suffered on a beach in Hawaii, a spokesperson said.

Biden was walking on the beach over the weekend when she stepped on an object that became lodged in her foot, her spokesman Michael LaRosa said.

“After inspection of the wound by medical staff, it is unclear what object caused the puncture,” LaRosa said. “The wound is now clean, free of infection and it is anticipated that it will heal nicely.”

The first lady underwent the procedure at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where she was joined by President Biden, who has made it a point to travel with her to medical procedures.

During her time in Hawaii, Jill Biden visited a pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic in Waipahu and later joined military families for a barbecue at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
