Jill Biden has said her husband 'had so many hopes' when he got into office, but there were 'problems of the moment' that needed to be addressed first.

The First Lady, 71, spoke at a fundraising event for the Democratic National Committee in Nantucket, Massachusetts, on Saturday.

'[The President] had so many hopes and plans for things he wanted to do, but every time you turned around, he had to address the problems of the moment,' she told donors at the event.

'He's just had so many things thrown his way,' she added.

During his presidency, Biden has faced Russia's war in Ukraine, the pullout of troops from Afghanistan, rising inflation and the overturning of Roe v Wade.

The remarks come after a New York Times poll recently found 64 percent of Democratic voters would prefer a candidate other than Biden in 2024.

Who would have ever thought about what happened [with the Supreme Court overturning] Roe v. Wade?

'Well, maybe we saw it coming, but still we didn't believe it,' she said. 'The gun violence in this country is absolutely appalling. We didn't see the war in Ukraine coming.'

Biden's approval rating was a 33 percent and only 13 percent of Americans thought the country was headed in the right direction, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll released Monday.

'I know there are so many nay-sayers who say we'll get slammed in the midterms. Okay. The Republicans are working hard, they stick together, for good or evil. So, we just have to work harder,' Jill Biden said.
