First Lady Jill Biden will play a role at the Democratic National Convention, marking a transition for her and President Joe Biden after he became the party’s nominee. She has defended her husband fiercely and wants to protect his legacy of public service. The Bidens plan to campaign for Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Jill plans to continue teaching English at a community college and working on initiatives to support military spouses and improve women’s health. She will host a spousal program at the U.N. General Assembly next month to strengthen relationships with allies. Throughout her time as first lady, Jill has continued teaching and sees her role as an act of service. She prioritized getting the country vaccinated and helping schools reopen during the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite not being a political adviser, Jill played a supportive role in her husband’s decision to end his re-election bid, expressing gratitude to supporters and rallying them around Kamala Harris. She sees teaching as part of her identity and will continue her work as an educator while fulfilling her duties as first lady.
