Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Jill Biden's message to Donald Trump: 'Stop it. My husband's going to beat you.'
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/jill-biden-s-message-donald-trump-stop-it-my-husband-n1080251ST. HELENA ISLAND, S.C. — Amid continuing attacks on her family, Jill Biden has a simple message for President Donald Trump: “Stop it. My husband's going to beat you.”
In an exclusive interview with NBC News on Monday, Jill Biden said that the efforts by the president and his Republican allies to draw her extended family into the campaign will backfire. But she also acknowledged that the attacks have gone beyond even what she expected.
“The fact that he attacked my son, I have never seen that in other elections, that they go after children of the candidate,” she said. “He's just trying to distract the voters. You know what Donald Trump did was wrong, flat-out wrong. Calling a foreign leader and asking them — and holding back foreign aid unless he investigated my husband, my son — that is just flat-out wrong and I think that the American people see that, I think the people in Congress see that and they're going to stand up to him.”

“Donald Trump and Joe Biden are just polar opposites," she said. "And that's why I think people are looking for the qualities in a leader — they want a strong leader, they want a resilient leader,” she said.

“I think the beauty of our political system is that anybody can get in to run for president, but I think Joe is the best qualified. I think he's ready on day one. He's steady, he'll be a steady commander in chief. And he knows the job, he has experience, he's ready on day one,” she said.

She decided this summer to continue her teaching career even as she expected to step up her time on the campaign trail. She will face another decision again soon about whether to continue in the spring semester, just as voters will be determining the nominee in primaries and caucuses across the country.
In 2009, she became the first "second lady" to continue her professional work into the White House. What Jill Biden is not yet clear about is whether she can do the same if her husband returns there as president.
“How great would that be? What would that say about teachers? Wouldn't that lift up the profession and celebrate who they are? It would be my honor,” she said.
