First lady Jill Biden prays every day that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is “still alive,” she told attendees at a Democratic fundraiser in California.
“I just have to turn on the TV every morning and pray that Zelensky is still alive,” she said Saturday at the exclusive fundraiser in San Francisco’s wealthy Pacific Heights neighborhood, while addressing “what’s on everybody’s mind.”
The event was attended by about 25 guests, including California lieutenant governor Eleni Kounalakis. Biden had made the trip to the Golden Gate City to attend the funeral of Richard Blum, the husband of California Senator Dianne Feinstein, who died Feb. 27. “The phone just never stops ringing, all through the night,” said Biden, giving some insight into the chaotic situation in the White House as Russian forces advance closer towards Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv. “And Joe is up, trying to help solve this crisis.”
Biden painted a precarious picture of the situation in Ukraine, which has so far displaced 1.4 million people and killed thousands.
