In a message on X, First Lady Jill Biden expressed her deepest gratitude to those who have stood by her husband, President Joe Biden, throughout his presidency. As the President steps aside and endorses Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s nominee, Jill Biden urged supporters to now put their trust in Harris.
The First Lady’s post was an expression of appreciation for the unwavering loyalty and dedication shown to her husband. “To those who never wavered, to those who refused to doubt, to those who always believed, my heart is full of gratitude,” she wrote. “Thank you for the trust you put in Joe – now it’s time to put that trust in Kamala.”
The message came as the President addressed the nation for the first time since announcing his withdrawal from the presidential race. Despite his recent struggles, including a lackluster debate performance against former President Donald Trump, Jill Biden had remained a steadfast supporter of her husband.
However, in the face of growing calls for him to step down, the President ultimately decided to endorse Vice President Harris. Jill Biden’s message served as a rallying cry, urging supporters to now rally behind Harris as the party’s nominee.
Interestingly, while the President is currently self-isolating in Delaware after testing positive for COVID-19, Jill Biden is set to lead the American delegation at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics in Paris, France, later this week. Her presence on the world stage will undoubtedly be closely watched, particularly in light of her husband’s recent decision to step aside.
