Jill Biden To Campaign In Edison For Gov. Phil Murphy – Patch.com

EDISON, NJ — First Lady Jill Biden is all set to visit Edison on Friday, to campaign for Gov. Phil Murphy’s re-election.

Biden along with Murphy and NJ First Lady Tammy Murphy will participate in an Early Vote Rally at Middlesex College. The event is expected to begin at 3:30 p.m.

Biden is the second White House surrogate to visit New Jersey in recent weeks. Vice President Kamala Harris visited the state last Friday to highlight President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion federal spending plan, including its child care provisions.

She visited the Ben Samuels Children’s Center at Montclair State University and a vaccine site at Essex County College.

Harris’ trip came just days after endorsing Murphy in his bid for re-election. However, her visit was an official one.

Biden’s trip on the other hand is the first political visit for a White House surrogate.
