Jill Biden serves as her husband's emotional emissary over Ukraine.
'In her hotel suite at the Intercontinental in San Francisco last weekend, Jill Biden spontaneously scrapped a prepared fundraising pitch she was set to give later that day.
There was something else on her mind Biden had awoken that morning to the news in Ukraine, growing ever more concerning as Russia escalated its attacks against civilians. She reached for a pencil, grabbed a pad of paper and started to write down her thoughts, according to two people familiar with Bidens activities.
The words she wrote down later ended up in a speech to benefactors at a private home in San Franciscos Pacific Heights neighborhood that was raw with the uncertainty of the moment.
We dont know where its going to go. We just dont know. And were all just holding our breath, arent we? That something, some answer will come so that we dont get into this world war. Its unbelievable, right? To think that that could happen in our lifetime, she said, the paper in front of her dabbled with handwritten margin notes and cross-throughs. I just have to turn on the TV every morning and pray that Zelensky is still alive. . .
Near Reno, Nevada, while touring a community college, Biden said during her remarks that she had constant concern for the people of Ukraine.
This has just been so shocking to all of us, Biden said, before shifting back to her hype-woman role for her husband. In the face of uncertainty, he is unshakable, and I hope you saw that in the State of the Union and when he was on yesterday when he was talking about the oil embargo. . .
There are moments when we suddenly realize that history is being written in front of us when we can almost feel ourselves cross the line that will divide our world into before and after, said Biden at Fort Campbell. This is one of those moments.'
