First Lady Jill Biden defended her husband and his administration's performance in an interview published on Tuesday, saying she wished voters could see just how hard he was working on the problems facing the nation.
President Joe Biden's personal standing has been battered by crisis after crisis, from the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan to inflation and high gas prices.
This week it fell to 38 percent, according to Gallup, marking a new low.
Jill Biden leapt to his defense, saying he was in power during a 'tough time in history' before reeling off his achievements.
'Sometimes it feels like we're pushing this boulder up the hill, but progress is being made,' she said in an interview with Real Simple magazine.
'Joe's been in office for, what, 18 months now? And everybody has access to vaccines.
'We got the schools reopened — thank God we all got off Zoom — we got health care, we got money for broadband so underserved kids can have internet.
'I don't want to sound like a political ad, but we have done so much. Gas prices are a huge issue, and Joe is, every single day, on the phone talking to leaders about gas and oil.
