Jill Biden: A first lady in the trenches
Raw StoryEver present by the U.S. president’s side after his calamitous debate — and foursquare behind him as he vowed to fight on in his reelection bid — First Lady Jill Biden has been fighting her husband’s battles from the front lines. “Without her support, it would be impossible for him to continue in the race.” The 73-year-old community college professor was making headlines of her own on Monday, as Vogue unveiled the cover of its August issue — with the first lady looking seraphic in a long white tuxedo gown by Ralph Lauren. ‘The right person’ She told Vogue the Biden family “will not let those 90 minutes define the four years he’s been president.” The woman who has shared her last 47 years with the Democratic leader also told a weekend meeting of donors: “Joe isn’t just the right person for the job. “What Jill Biden and the Biden campaign did to Joe Biden tonight — rolling him out on stage to engage in a battle of wits while unarmed — is elder abuse, plain and simple,” Wyoming Republican Harriet Hageman posted on X after the debate.
