Jill Biden vowed on Thursday to continue the fight for free community college amid reports it would be dropped from her husband's trillion-dollar social spending package as part of a cost-cutting effort.
Her pledge after she acknowledged the challenges that come with being first lady and the 'hurt and anger' she's met when she's visited red-leaning states that didn't vote for Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Free college tuition is a priority for Biden, who teaches at a Northern Virginia community college, being one of the first presidential spouses to hold an outside job during her husband's White House tenure.
'We're not giving up. We're not giving up,' Biden said in an interview that aired on ABC's GMA Thursday morning. 'This is round one. This is year one. I'm going to keep going.'
President Biden is trying to bring the two warring wings of the Democratic Party together as he pushes Congress to approve his budget package of social programs. Moderate Democrats are pushing for a scaled-back version of the legislation and Biden's plan for two free-years of community college may be one of the provisions axed as a result.
The White House did not rule out that happening but noted negotiations are ongoing. Biden gave Democrats until the end of the week to come to consensus.
'The president knows that he is not going to get everything he wants in this package,' White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Air Force One on Wednesday.
'If there are things, and there may be things that may not end up in a final package, he will continue to fight for them,' she noted.

Hey, Jill - LET’S GO BRANDON!
Remember what what’s her face Obama’s wife said how “she was never proud of her country til O was elected”? What a bunch of Morons. The Pres is to represent ALL Americans not smear the other party EVERY D*** Minute!
That nasty old whore needs to just shut up and fade away.
Such f’in morons. Per Psaki’s quote at the end, they keep signaling that any compromise is just tactical and they’ll be back to try to get the rest later.
Criminal mom Jill wants free community college.....well let the Biden family spend their money putting even one student on college.
Last I knew this family’s donations to any charity at all is dismally poor.
It’s free, costing nothing, and faculty and college administrators will work for no pay as volunteers.
Roger that bro. 👍 By the way, has that clueless beyotch, who started this whole fiasco, in the first place, been too embarrassed to show her face in public? What a first class class idiot.
Why go to college when you can live off the taxpayers . . .what’s left of them.
There’s nothing that can prepare you to be first lady. We aren’t elected. We have to define this role for ourselves,’ she said in speech on Wednesday
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“We aren’t elected” — Buried lead!
Get over yourself, Jill.
what is she going on about?
19 states have ‘free’ community college, some based on merit some on ‘equality’, and all of the states offer federal Pell Grants and state grants as well as private grants that pretty much pay tuition and books.
Community college isn’t about cost of college, but the sacrifice of working to pay the rent, or gas and niceties if living at home (which was the entire idea behind ‘community colleges’) while attending a 2-yr college. It’s supposed to focus not-quite-adults on training for a career and or gives the student 2 years to win a scholarship at a 4-yr college on grades or talent. But it draws on personal fortitude - can you hack living a spartan life for 2 years for the reward, which is fasttracking into skilled careers like fish and game, or learned trades like medical, IT, paralegal, or teaching? Or is partying and socializing the priority and college is just something to do besides work?

Student should be taught at an early age that nothing is free when it comes from the government. You’ll pay for it in the end.
Cut Joe some slack. 😂😊😁 Remember, they don’t call him slow Joe for nothing. He is so slow, his thinking hasn’t caught up to that point yet. 👎
The National School Board Association wants Dr? Jill to head up a presidential commission to fix failing public schools. That besides recommending Merrick Garland give parents the terrorist treatment.
Stfu. Cnt.
