Jill Biden: ‘People Are Hungry for Joe’s Steady Leadership’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: “I want them to know that, you know, Joe will be a strong and steady leader. I use the phrase give me the ball. I couldn’t know when I started writing the book in the fall how really ironic it is that now, you know, Joe is saying to Americans, give me the ball, give me the burden, let me shoulder it. Because so many people are suffering from -- from so much. And I think that -- you know, it's Joe’s steady leadership that I think people are really hungry for and I think that every president is known for something special about their presidency. And I think Joe will be known for being an empathetic leader because of all he’s been through and because of the tragedies in his life. Because he did stutter, because his father did lose his job, because he did work at the only all-black pool in the city and saw what people of color went through. And so I think that empathy is going to be Joe’s greatest strength.”
