First Lady Dr. Jill Biden has three campaign events on Monday where she will try to excite an increasingly unenthusiastic Democrat base; she’ll be in North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia.
“Joe has made it clear he is all in,” she told the crowd in North Carolina. “That’s the decision he’s made. And just as he has always supported my career, I am all in too.”
Meanwhile, President Biden has no events on his calendar.

The First Lady is facing intense criticism for driving her husband’s campaign forward while refusing to acknowledge his legitimate health concerns. Recently, readers of The Washington Post sent a letter to the FLOTUS to convince her to support Joe’s exit.
“We turn to you, Ms. Biden, with our request to urge your husband to end his campaign for the presidency,” readers and self-described “Democratic women” from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, wrote in a letter to The Post.
“It is time for the younger generation to take charge in a manner that will stop Mr. Trump in his tracks and build on your husband’s legacy rather than allow it to be destroyed,” the Philadelphia readers wrote.
President Biden has so far rejected calls to step aside, writing a letter to House Dems urging them to drop the issue earlier Monday.
