Jill Biden Says Joe Made the Right Decision to Withdraw from Presidential Race

In a heartfelt interview on Good Morning America, First Lady Jill Biden expressed her support for her husband, President Joe Biden, acknowledging that he made the right choice by stepping back from his re-election campaign. This decision paves the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to run against Donald Trump in the upcoming election.

Reflecting on her family's time in the White House, Jill Biden stated, "I’ve had such a great four years. It has truly been the honor of our lives. While it will be difficult to step away, we are embarking on a new chapter." She emphasized that it was time for change, reiterating, "It was the right call."

Jill Biden's comments come amid concerns about the president's age, as he is 81 years old. With Harris, who is 60, now poised to lead the campaign, Jill expressed excitement about the possibilities a Harris presidency could bring. "There’s a lot of energy out there," she remarked, predicting that Harris is destined to win. "It’s going to be just another chapter for the White House."

Harris’s campaign has seen impressive fundraising efforts, amassing a record-breaking $1 billion since its launch. However, current polling indicates a close race between Harris and Trump, who is 78 years old and seeks a comeback after losing the presidency to Biden in 2020.

In addition to her support for Harris, Jill Biden discussed her recent efforts to revamp the public tours of the White House. She aimed to create a more engaging and immersive experience for visitors by incorporating 3D renderings, touchable artifacts, and interactive displays that highlight the rich history of the building. Drawing on her background as a college English professor, she noted, "Being an educator, I walked these halls every day and thought we need something that’s more vibrant and comes alive."

Jill Biden emphasized the importance of catering to different learning styles, saying, "We’ve tried to address that throughout the tour, so whether you're visual, auditory, or tactile, you can learn effectively." These enhancements were developed in collaboration with the History Channel and the National Park Service and are now open for public enjoyment.
