The campaign trail lead Jill Biden to Reno on Sunday. The former Vice President's wife hosted a women's roundtable and was also the featured speaker at the opening of Team Joe Reno Office on Kietzke Lane.
During the office opening she spoke to people about her husband, Joe Biden's campaign. She talked about her vision of the future, with her husband in office.
During the speech Dr. Biden said, " I want you to imagine that it's the Fall of 2021. So it's a day like today, it's beautiful, and Sunny. You wake up, you're sipping you're coffee. You pick up the morning paper... and the headline isn't about some late night Tweet storm. Instead it's a story about the children who'll be receiving Universal Pre-K. You read about the progress that's being made through the Paris agreement. And how we will once again lead a world coalition against climate change."
She mentioned a story about her faith, which she says she doesn't publicize often, and she talked about violence and mentioned the country's political divide, followed by a comment on how it's important for people to come together in unity.
"When I sit down with teachers and I talk to my students... When I visit cancer hospitals I don't see the 'them' and the 'us,' I see people coming together." Dr. Biden said during her speech.
She also touched on a couple of other issues and says solving them points back to helping the middle class.
"Really Joe's message is, we're trying to lift up the middle class. Whether than means affordable housing, whether that means good education. Whether that means we're going to change climate change. Whether than means we're going to lead the country and lead our allies around the world." Dr. Biden explained during an interview.
During the interview when asked about how Biden can appeal to Nevadans who are in favor of the Second Amendment, Doctor Biden said, "Joe actually came up with the assault weapons ban which he passed in the 90's. He doesn't want to take guns away from people who are hunters, but he doesn't see any need for assault weapons. So, what I've been hearing as a travel around Nevada, is you know, people, parents especially want their children safe in schools. That's very important to them. So I think we need to be making changes now to keep our schools and our children safe."
