This weekend, first lady Jill Biden is traveling in Eastern Europe, meeting with Ukrainian refugees, humanitarian aid workers and others impacted by Russia's war in Ukraine.
As the Biden administration continues to express its unwavering support for Ukraine's battle to preserve its independence, the first lady's trip is another opportunity to demonstrate America's commitment to Ukraine. It also will serve as an important reminder to all American and NATO allies that US commitment to Ukraine will extend well into the postwar period -- whenever that might be.
Jill Biden's first ladyship is a long way from cookie bake-offs and state dinners
This is not the first time that a first lady has played an important role in the nation's politics on a matter of international importance.
Michelle Obama was one of the most clear-eyed and vocal critics of Donald Trump's campaign in 2016, offering some of the most powerful speeches and commentary about the stakes that the nation faced with the prospect of him winning office. And at the 2020 Democratic National Convention, she tore into Trump as someone who was "clearly in over his head."
First ladies have played critical roles in policymaking deliberations. In 1993, President Bill Clinton named Hillary Clinton to be the head of the task force that designed his health care plan. Predictably, she became the vicious target of conservative attacks. Although the plan went down in defeat, Clinton's work helped put forth a new model of health care reform that became a foundation for the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act.

So he’s suggesting that Jill Biden is the real president? As we always suspected. /spit
Because she is a Dr.? Ha ha!
They sent Jill because Joe is senile. It is that simple. I guess that makes Jill our president?
Jill’s visit “matters” because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are so done that Joe has to send a surrogate. Plus, it’s a good reminder that Joe has a pattern of sending family members to Ukraine to conduct his business.
Per a previous post, I think this puke already sits to pee.
She went because Stupid Ass can’t make the rip.
He’s fading more and more everyday and besides, they can never tell when he’s going to crap his pants.
