First lady Jill Biden is warning that returning Donald Trump to the White House would threaten women who already have watched the former president’s Supreme Court picks nix a federal right to abortion services

ATLANTA (AP) — First lady Jill Biden warned Friday that returning Donald Trump to the White House would threaten women who already have watched the former president’s Supreme Court picks nix a federal right to abortion services.

Trump has “spent a lifetime tearing us down and devaluing our existence,” she said in Atlanta, where she launched a multistate battleground tour to highlight President Joe Biden's reelection campaign outreach program aimed at women.

“I’ve been so proud of how Joe has placed women at the heart of his agenda,” the first lady said of her husband. She contrasted him to Trump, who she said “mocks women’s bodies, disrespects our accomplishments and brags about assault ” and, as recently as this week,
took credit for “killing Roe v. Wade.”

It was an unusually pointed take-down from Jill Biden. She has long been a smiling, supportive advocate for her husband, often telling endearing stories about their marriage and family and her own career as an educator. Her remarks Friday signaled a more aggressive role in what is setting up to be a bitter rematch of the 2020 election. Women are likely to play a crucial role, especially in the relative handful of states that will determine the Electoral College outcome.....................

I wonder how or when Donald will mock and or diss Jill Biden. That said I do not want to see or hear that from the prick!!

I am so glad to see Dr Biden will be on the campaign trail.

We really need assertive messaging!
With "fellow" women out there sending out a warning is very good.
Very glad to see her starting early on.
👍

We NEED Dr. Jill to get out there on the trail and let women know what it would be like to have another trump term. (yaacck, gakkkk, ichh - that's me gagging to keep down dinner) The dystopia that awaits cannot be over-stated. Women of America need to hear her voice. There will be little response from "Mercedes" or "Melanomia" or "Melagriftoria" or whatever her name is.

But I do worry about the pushback that The First Lady (and first PhD) will receive from the Cuisinart Caucus on the right. trump, the entire Fox propaganda wing, the Megyn Kellys and Tomi Lahrens of the pathetic podcast puppets and others will savagely attack her. I hope she is ready.
