 In a twist for first ladies, Jill Biden is diving into the midterms
by Alex Gangitano - 10/15/22 3:00 PM ET

First lady Jill Biden is traversing the country in the final weeks before the midterm elections, adding several stops to her already travel-heavy time in the White House and outstripping her recent predecessors in terms of campaign appearances and active fundraising.

Biden this week visited Tennessee, Wisconsin, Georgia and Florida. Her solo trips, while President Biden has been traveling out west this week, have been focused on top issues for her portfolio, including education, the military and COVID-19, but also include fundraising for Democrats.

The first lady on Wednesday told a group of donors at a private Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraiser in Nashville’s Hillsboro-West End neighborhood that “we have to act now” ahead of November.

“Just imagine what he could do with a few more partners in Congress,” Biden said.

In 2018, former first lady Melania Trump was mostly out of sight on the campaign trail during the midterms. Even in the final days before the election, she opted to stay home while then-President Trump held campaign rallies across the country.

Former first lady Michelle Obama was known to have a distaste for campaigning — setting out in support of Democrats only in the last few days of the 2016 cycle, during her husband’s final months in office. During the 2014 midterms, some Democrats complained about her absence beyond things such as get-out-the-vote efforts.

“The first lady will be an active campaigner for Democrats this fall and will carry a message of optimism and hope, focusing on the accomplishments of her husband’s administration,” a senior adviser to Jill Biden told The Hill.

Biden will frequently spread the message that “Joe is delivering results,” and she plans to use her “personal experience and perspective as a woman who lived in the pre-Roe era,” to remind women what’s at stake in the election, the adviser said.

I had thought that it was normal for the President to campaign in off-year elections.  Jill is simply doing what every other President has done.

I disagree. Having the wife out front and the husband following, Fetterman/Biden, indicates weakness, incompetence, and frailty. It is the very definition of a Beto, I mean a beta-male. This is not meant to be sexist at all. Voters (supposedly) voted for Joe. Nobody voted for Jill. Who is her base? Who are Jill Biden's supporters? So far, nobody. But the same could be said of Joe, of course. So ... whatever

I thought the real Biden voters came with six-foot circles so they'd be easy to spot...

Why in the heck does the first lady require a taxpayer-funded senior advisor?  And how is a senior advisor different from a regular advisor?
