Jill Biden graced the cover of Vogue after being accused of “elder abuse” for allowing Joe to continue his 2024 re-election campaign despite their disastrous debate.
The first lady covers the August issue of the fashion magazine in a $7,000 outfit, including a white suit. The photo presents an image of authority at a time when Democrats say she is the only one who can dissuade Joe Biden from running for president and rekindles accusations from conservatives that the first lady is a real power in the White House.
The brilliant article, which includes a brief interview with Biden, was conducted before the president’s disastrous performance in the June 27 debate. It focuses on her work as first lady – including her fight for women’s health – and notes her commitment to another term in the White House.
Vogue placed an editors’ note at the top of the online story to acknowledge current events. It notes that the first lady called from Camp David over the weekend, where the Biden family was gathered, to double down on her support for the president, downplaying Joe Biden’s gaffes at Thursday night’s debate.
“We will not allow those 90 minutes to define the four years he has been president. We will continue to fight,” he told Vogue. “President Biden will always do what is best for the country,” she added.
Jill Biden appeared on the cover of Vogue accused of ‘elder abuse’
The family was at Camp David over the weekend for what the White House said was a pre-planned photo shoot with legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz.
The timing of the piece is unfortunate.
Democrats continue to question whether Biden, 81, has the ability to do the job as president. Talks about replacing him on the ticket continue, with many saying Jill Biden is the one who can convince him to drop out of the race for the good of the country.
Conservatives denounced her as the real power in the White House. And the powerful image on the cover of Vogue sparked more accusations against her.
“At some point, after so many warnings, it’s starting to look like this is the reason the Biden family won’t let her drop out of the race,” Dispatch editor Sara Isgur wrote on X, sharing Jill Biden’s Vogue cover .
“There has never been a more maniacal and power-obsessed first lady than Jill Biden,” wrote conservative commentator James Fischback.
“The idea that people who have fallen in love with the relevance and fame that Biden has brought them would voluntarily give it up is hilarious,” wrote Republican operative Matt Gorman.
On the cover, Jill Biden wears a $2,820 white Ralph Lauren wrap dress with $4,550 earrings.
In the article, author Maya Singer writes that the first lady missed the Soul Cycle session planned for the morning of the cover shoot because she had to be with her husband Joe.
In the article, Jill Biden acknowledges the rigors of campaigning.
His message was one that he often says during the election campaign: that only Joe Biden can save democracy.
“I’m sorry we weren’t able to exercise,” the first lady said, noting that “the plan was canceled so she could spend some time at home, at home, in Wilmington, with her husband.”
“It’s not very often that Joe and I get to spend an entire morning together, just drinking coffee, you know, talking,” says Jill Biden.
One of the charges the Biden family faces is that they have kept Joe Biden’s true health hidden by keeping him in Wilmington and keeping residential staff away from him at the White House.
The White House denies the allegations. But doubts about his health are increasing.
In the Vogue article, Singer traveled with Jill Biden on several campaign stops. He also accompanied her to the Columbine Memorial in Colorado and watched her call donors to promote Joe Biden.
His message was one he often repeats during the campaign: that only Joe Biden can save democracy.
And Biden has his defenders in the article.
President Joe Biden looks on as he takes part in the first presidential debate
“I see her as an Eleanor Roosevelt-style first lady, going out into the community and making sure their voices are heard in Washington,” Dr. Jane O’Meara Sanders, wife of Sen. Bernie Sanders, told the magazine.
In the article, Jill Biden acknowledges the rigors of the campaign. She has regularly participated in campaigns, often out-campaigning President Biden.
“Every campaign is important and every campaign is difficult,” he says. ‘Each campaign is unique. But in this case the urgency is different. We know what is at stake. “Joe is asking the American people to come together to draw a line in the sand against all of this vitriol.”
The Biden family is now in the spotlight for unintended reasons: Their role in protecting the president is being questioned. Hunter Biden is also said to be urging his father to stay in the race, as are his grandchildren.
The family was at Camp David over the weekend for what the White House said was a pre-planned photo session with legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz.
And Jill Biden will continue to be her family’s fiercest defender.
Anthony Bernal, her senior adviser, close to the Bidens for years, told Vogue: “Her family is everything to her, so of course you could say her ‘Philadelphia’ kicks in when her family is attacked.” . She is cruel. What mother wouldn’t feel that? Especially after everything they’ve been through, all that tragedy and loss.
