Jill Biden says women’s rights are at stake in the election and the choice is between ‘calm’ and ‘chaos’… as she promotes children’s book about cat Willow

Jill Biden warned on Wednesday that women’s rights are at stake in the November election, describing it as a choice between calm and chaos.

“Everything is at stake,” the first lady told the hosts of ABC’s Good Morning America. She was on the morning show to promote her upcoming children’s book: ‘Willow the White House Cat.’

‘I am thinking especially for women this year about women’s rights, our freedoms. Democracy is at stake,” she said when asked about President Joe Biden’s campaign against Donald Trump.

She argued that voters can choose between her husband’s steady presence or Trump’s chaos.

‘We have a choice. “We can have my husband, who is calm, steadfast, strong and has character and integrity, or we have the other choice, who is chaotic,” she said. ‘We have to decide. Democracy or chaos.’

Jill Biden has taken a leading role in her husband’s re-election campaign when it comes to attacking Trump on women’s issues. Earlier this year, she launched the Women for Biden-Harris coalition.

She was also a prolific fundraiser for the campaign and the Democratic Party.

On Wednesday she will be in New York to promote her new book, her third children’s book.

It focuses on Willow and provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse into life in the White House through the first cat.

It will be released on June 4 and will cost $19.99. It was co-written with award-winning children’s author Alyssa Satin Capucilli and illustrated by Kate Berube.

“It’s kind of a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to live in the White House,” Biden said on GMA.

She also described the book as a tribute to the permanent White House staff who care for the residence.

‘You know I’m an English teacher. I want children to love reading. I want children to know that reading is fun, learning is fun. “I want people to know about the White House and the people inside it who keep it all running,” she said.

‘There are almost a hundred people there. They dedicate their lives to running the White House. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Republican family or a Democratic family. They always make everything so special for us and for the people who come there every day.’

The picture book explores Willow’s adjustment from a Pennsylvania barn cat to life in America’s most famous house.

Jill Biden argued that the 2024 election is a choice between the steady presence of President Joe Biden (left) or the chaos of Donald Trump (right).

The tabby cat joined the Biden family at the White House in January 2022 and was named after Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, Jill Biden’s hometown.

Jill Biden met the cat during a 2020 campaign stop in Pennsylvania when Willow jumped onto the stage where she was speaking.

Willow often travels with the Bidens to their beach house in Rehoboth, Delaware. And she has been known to wake up President Joe Biden by walking on his head.

The book will be published on June 4

According to publisher Simon & Schuster, the book is about the cat’s journey to the White House and the friends she meets along the way.

Upon arriving at the White House, Willow “discovers new rooms to explore and is welcomed by the nice lady she met on Farmer Rick’s farm,” according to the book’s synopsis.

The cat will also meet friendly White House staff and find new places to play.

‘Willow loves discovering the White House and all the special people who make this house a home.’

On most days, Willow can be found in the East Wing, wandering in and out of the staffers’ offices. Treats for the cat are known to be on hand.

The first lady has written two other children’s books: Don’t Forget, God Bless Our Troops and Joey: The Story of Joe Biden.

Her memoir, Where the Light Enters, was a New York Times bestseller.
