HUDSON, N.H. (WHDH) - Dr. Jill Biden hit the campaign trail Thursday on her husband’s behalf hoping to help straighten out his path to the White House following a disastrous Iowa caucus.
At a house party in Hudson, Dr. Biden talked about why her husband should be the next president as the nation turns its eyes toward the first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire next week.
“Joe is the only leader who can hit the ground running, day one, and take our nation into the future,” she said.
In her opinion, her husband is the only candidate who has what it takes to beat Donald Trump — despite the disappointing defeat in the Hawkeye State.
“I’m a marathon runner, it’s 26 miles, this is mile one,” Dr. Biden said of her husband’s road to the 2020 elections. “Joe is the one who can win.”
The Bidens are no strangers to this dance, though Dr. Biden said this is Joe’s time, “because there is an urgency to now and people all over this country want to beat Donald Trump.”
The former second lady, who has her sights set on being first lady, displayed her sense of humor when speaking about taking time off from her job as a college professor to campaign.
But when asked how she felt about the thought of giving up her position entirely to take over the job of first lady, Biden was all buisness.
“Why can’t you do both,” she asked. “Women can do it all.”
She also made a stop at a cafe in Manchester to chat with prospective voters and try to win over some undecideds.
“I have always been supportive of Obama and Biden,” one diner said. “I can’t wait.”
Others say they are still on the fence about who they will throw their support behind.
“We need all hands on board,” Biden told supporters. “A commander and chief who you can feel proud of. Who believes that our best days are ahead of us. That is Joe Biden”
Joe Biden spent the day huddling with his advisors and preparing for the upcoming debate.
