Jill Biden says women in the Philly suburbs where she grew up 'may determine the entire election'

Jill Biden thanked volunteers and told a group of elected female leaders at a small backyard rally that the 2020 election could be in the hands of Pennsylvania women, during a campaign swing Thursday in the Philadelphia suburbs.

“Women will decide the future of this state, and this state may determine the entire election,” Biden said at a stop in Swarthmore, in Delaware County.

Biden, 69, the former second lady and a 35-year educator, grew up in Willow Grove and attended Upper Moreland High School. At her first stop, outside U.S. Rep. Madeleine Dean’s Jenkintown office in Montgomery County, Dean presented Biden with an Upper Moreland High School sweatshirt personalized with “Dr. B” on the back.

"You’re an amazing role model to a lot of women, and I hope you recognize that,” Dean told her. “And being a Philly girl, I think there really is something in our DNA. We believe in the founding of our nation ... life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

which was close to Jill's. Rod Rosenstein also went to my school...

Speaking with friends that still live there, I can say that they are not happy with tRump. On is an anti-abortion, single issue type. She isn't voting for tRump but won't say if she will vote for Biden or not vote at all. She definitely won't vote for Kanye.
