Former second lady Jill Biden said “a lot of Republicans” who are disillusioned with President Trump’s leadership are going to wind up casting their vote in November for her husband, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden.
“From what I’ve seen a lot of Republicans are going to vote for Joe, and they’ve been saying it,” she declared on ABC’s “The View” Tuesday. “Maybe they’re not saying it publicly, but when I was out there on the trail, a lot of people came up to me and said ‘Jill, I’m a Republican, but I’m going to vote for your husband because he’s a moderate, and he’s a steady leader and we believe in Joe.’
“Of course, Trump has his supporters, but I think a lot of his supporters have become disillusioned, especially in the way that he’s handled this pandemic,” she added.
Mrs. Biden appeared on “The View” to promote her new children’s book, “Joey,” which tells the life story of her husband, who struggled with a stutter as a child.
Asked by co-host Meghan McCain how her husband planned to defend himself against Mr. Trump’s “disgusting” attacks, Mrs. Biden responded, “Joe’s used to handling bullies.”
