Jill Biden defends Joe after debate: “He will not let 90 minutes define his four years as president”

The first lady of the United States, Jill Biden, reaffirmed Joe Biden’s commitment to continuing the presidential race ahead of the November 5 elections, following his performance in the first debate against former President Donald Trump last week.

Through an interview with Vogue, the president’s wife clarified that she will not let “the 90 minutes of the debate define four years that he has been president,” statements that came from Camp David, where the Biden family was over the weekend.

The first lady also clarified that “we will continue fighting,” and assured that President Biden “will always do what is best for the country” despite criticism for his inaccuracies in the debate.

Jill Biden has faced criticism for failing to persuade Joe Biden, 81, to drop his re-election campaign after last week’s clash with former President Donald Trump: “I tell him what I see, what I hear, and he gets it,” Jill revealed of her dynamic with the president. “And this is where the magic happens.”

Katie Rogers, the White House correspondent who recently wrote a book about first ladies, spoke about the often overlooked role of Jill Biden.

“People don’t mention her when they talk about Biden’s key advisers, but she is his instinctive witness and closest confidant,” Rogers said.

“And she really believes in her husband’s ability to get things done for the American people, whether they support him or not. That’s why she’s fighting so hard for him to get a second term, because there are things left on their agenda. And she’s told me that she’s going to travel twice as hard and fight twice as hard, because of the threats that she sees, especially to women,” the correspondent added.

Jill Biden’s statements add to the displays of support from several political figures from the Democratic wing, such as Nancy Pelosi, Hilary and Bill Clinton, as well as former President Barack Obama, who have emphasized that the president had a “bad night.” despite rumors of a possible replacement of the president.
