First lady Jill Biden is on Vogue’s next cover in a gushing profile posted Monday — as she vowed not to give up on the 2024 race despite hubby President Biden’s disastrous debate performance.
Speaking from Camp David where the Biden family were holed up for the weekend, Jill told the magazine “will not let those 90 minutes define the four years he’s been president.”
“We will continue to fight,” she continued in the feature published Monday, claiming that Biden “will always do what’s best for the country.”
The first lady’s defiance comes as she faces a firestorm of criticism for not forcing her 81-year-old husband to give up his re-election campaign following last week’s face-off against former President Donald Trump.
During the fawning Vogue interview — in which writer Maya Singer called Jill Biden “a great hang” — the first lady addressed her sway in her husband’s political career.
She told the glitzy mag that she pushes the president to take action “in so many different areas.”
“I tell him what I’m seeing, what I’m hearing — and he gets it,” she said proudly.
“And this is where the magic happens.”
Katie Rogers, a White House correspondent who recently wrote a book about first ladies, noted Jill Biden’s often-unnoticed pivotal role.
“People don’t mention her when they talk about Biden’s key advisers, but she’s his gut check and his closest confidant,” Rogers was quoted as saying.
“And she really believes in her husband’s ability to get things done for the American people — whether they’re his supporters or not. That’s why she’s fighting so hard for him to get a second term, because there are things they’ve got left on the agenda. And she’s told me she’ll travel twice as much, and fight twice as hard, because of the threats she sees — especially to women.”
