Dr. Jill Biden tells a New Hampshire crowd 'you may like another candidate better' than her husband, Joe Biden, 'but you have to look at who’s going to win.'
earlier this month that found that former Vice President Joe Biden was leading the crowded Democratic field in the polls because Democrats consider him their best shot at ousting President Donald Trump next November.
Jill Biden, a longtime teacher, didn't reference that poll specifically, but noted a number of surveys have shown him leading the pack since he entered the race. She said she was aware some voters will say polls"don't mean anything, but if they’re consistent and if they’re consistently saying the same thing, I think you can’t dismiss that. I mean you all deal with facts.""We have to have someone who can beat him," she said, arguing that his centrist message appeals to independents and some Republicans as well as some `Democrats.
"So yes, you know, your candidate might be better on, I don’t know, healthcare than Joe is, but you’ve got to look at who’s going to win this election, and maybe you have to swallow a little bit and say, 'Okay, I personally like so and so better,' but your bottom line has to be that we have to beat Trump," Biden said.
During the appearance at the New Hampshire bookstore, Biden also spoke at length about her husband's education plans, which she said draws from her 35 years of teaching experience.Dareh Gregorian is a politics reporter for NBC News.
