Social Media Praises Dr. Jill Biden After DNC Speech Supporting Husband Joe Biden
Twitter couldn’t get enough of Dr. Jill Biden‘s speech at the Democratic National Convention tonight (August 18).
Wearing a gorgeous green dress, the educator returned to a school she once taught at the deliver her speech, supporting husband Joe Biden, the official Democratic nominee.
“As a mother and a grandmother, as an American, I am heartbroken by the magnitude of this loss, by the failure to protect our communities, by every precious and irreplaceable life gone,” Jill started. “Like so many of you, I’m left asking, ‘how do I keep my family safe?’ You know, motherhood came to me in a way I never expected, I fell in love with a man and two little boys standing in the wreckage of unthinkable loss, mourning a wife and mother, a daughter and sister. I never imagined, at the age of 26, I would be asking myself, ‘how do you make a broken family whole?’ Still, Joe always told the boys, ‘mommy sent Jill to us.’ And how could I argue with her? And so, we figured it out together.”
She went on, “We found that love holds a family together. Love makes us flexible and resilient. It allows us to become more than ourselves, together, and though it can’t protect us from the sorrows of life, it gives us refuge — a home. How do you make a broken family whole? The same way you make a nation whole — with love and understanding and with small acts of kindness.”
After and during her speech, Jill was praised by supporters and celebrities on social media.
“This is what a First Lady sounds like. She really DOES care. Do U?” Mark Hamill wrote after watching.
Rosanna Arquette also praised her, writing, “Jill Biden has proven she is Best.”
At the end of her speech, Joe even praised his wife, telling her that she did a great job.

I know I’m a legendary sap, but I’m still choked up by Jill Biden’s speech. They’ve lived through so much tragedy, felt so much grief. But they keep fighting. And they want to heal the nation the way they healed their own family. Bless them. ❤️🇺🇸#DemConvention

Can’t stop tearing up. Not only is Dr. Jill Biden lovely and brilliant, she’s a badass who grew up in Philly, where I’m from. She too touches my soul and grips my heart, she’ll be one hell of a First Lady and I’m really looking forward to her continuing on after Michelle Obama.💙
