First Lady Jill Biden made a passionate plea to churchgoers at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Spring House, Pennsylvania, emphasizing the importance of voting in the upcoming election. Addressing the congregation, she highlighted the impact of individual votes on shaping the course of the nation.

Throughout the final weekend before Election Day, Biden has been actively campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris in key battleground states. Her extensive campaign efforts have included nearly 30 events in various states, underscoring the critical nature of the election.

Despite facing personal challenges, including the decision for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 race, Jill Biden remains committed to supporting Harris and advocating for a new generation of leaders.
