In a recent interview, First Lady Jill Biden expressed her concerns about the potential implications of another conservative appointment to the Supreme Court, stating that citizens could "lose all of our rights."
The First Lady participated in the interview on Wednesday to promote her new book. During the discussion, she expressed optimism about President Joe Biden's polling numbers, which have recently trailed behind those of Donald Trump in swing state polls.
Drawing a stark contrast between her husband and Trump, Jill Biden characterized the choice between the two as a decision between "good and evil." She expressed confidence in the American people's ability to discern the differences between the two men and their policies.
"Those polls are going to turn. I'm confident of it because as time goes on and as people start to focus a little bit more about what's at stake and start to become educated on the issues and the differences between the two men, I believe Americans are going to choose good over evil," she stated.
In a passionate plea for her husband's administration, the First Lady warned of the potential consequences of Trump having the opportunity to appoint another conservative to the Supreme Court. Her sentiments were echoed by co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sunny Hostin.
During Trump's tenure, he appointed Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Biden has voiced concerns about the potential for abortion bans and restrictions in states following the Supreme Court's overturning in 2022.
"We cannot take things for granted and think of the Supreme Court for God's sake. Talk about things getting worse? Can you imagine if we put any more Republicans on the Supreme Court? No!" she exclaimed. "We will lose all of our rights."
The First Lady further emphasized the gravity of the upcoming election, describing it as a choice between "democracy and chaos."
"We have a choice. We can have my husband, who is calm and steady and strong and has character and integrity, or we have the other choice, which is chaotic," she said. "We have to decide. Democracy or chaos."
