ST. LOUIS — @DrBiden is speaking now on behalf of her husband on the eve of the #MOPrimary.

Mayor @LydaKrewson, Aldermanic Board @PresReed, and former @AmbOMalley are on hand.

“Vote 4 Jill’s Husband” sign behind her.

Former Second Lady @DrBiden tells the story of meeting her husband, @JoeBiden. "Mom, I finally met a gentleman," she recounts telling her mother that night. (They would later marry after he proposed five times, she said.)

Jill Biden: "I want you to picture that it's 2021... You pick up your paper and the headline isn't about some late-night tweetstorm... Then you turn on the TV... and when they cut to the president of the United States, you don't turn the channel."

.@DrBiden takes some implicit shots at Sanders in STL: "We need a Democrat who can lead our party up and down the ticket... Democrats in the most liberal cities and the most conservative ones will be able to run with [my husband], not away from him."

“Don’t Stop Believing” plays @DrBiden as she departs St. Louis after a four-city tour of Missouri. She spoke for about 15 minutes — longer than her husband did in his St. Louis rally on Saturday.
