""I'll be honest, Mr. President, I have some concerns," Shapiro said, pointing to polling that showed "a rapid erosion of support for the president in must-win Pennsylvania.""
""Alright," the first lady said, standing up. "We gotta go." This marked a clear signal by Jill Biden that the conversation was over."
In a private meeting on July 7, 2024, First Lady Jill Biden abruptly ended a conversation with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro after he expressed concerns regarding President Biden's re-election campaign. Shapiro pointed out a troubling decline in support for the president in polling figures, emphasizing that inflation's impact wasn't sufficiently acknowledged. Even though President Biden attempted to respond, the First Lady signaled the end of the discussion. This interaction foreshadowed Biden's eventual withdrawal from the race, shortly thereafter endorsing Kamala Harris, who went on to lose Pennsylvania to Donald Trump in the elections.
