First Lady Jill Biden said in an interview Wednesday that running for a second term in the White House is worth it for President Biden because, she said, freedom and democracy are “on the line.”
In a sit-down interview with MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski, the first lady said even enduring the partisan attacks on her family and going through the difficulties of a campaign are worth it for the sake of the country.
Brzezinski asked Biden, in a clip released ahead of the full interview release, whether “yet another one give you any pause – thinking of the personal health and well-being for both of you, the division in this country, the cruelty of MAGA Republicans against your family?”
“Does any part of you once in a while think, ‘Oh, maybe we bow out?’” Brzezinski asked.
“You know, that’s why I want to go through yet another campaign,” the first lady said, “because I think, as Joe says – democracy, our freedoms, are what’s on the line.”
“And so Americans have a choice. They can have strong, steady leadership, someone fighting for democracy, or they can choose chaos and division,” she continued.
