Jill Biden, the presumptive first lady elect, has laid out a list of priorities she wants to focus on when she arrives at the White House in January.
In a statement from Biden’s spokesman Michael LaRosa, Biden is currently building her team to help her work on issues related to education, cancer, and military families and veterans.
“Dr. Biden is enormously grateful to the country for electing her husband and Senator Harris,” LaRosa said. “Joe Biden will be a president for all Americans. (Jill Biden) is spending time with her children and grandchildren in Wilmington, Delaware.”
Biden, 69, spent several decades working as a teacher and has a doctorate in education from the University of Delaware.
While she was second lady to the former vice president, Biden worked with former first lady Michelle Obama to help military families become engaged in community activities.
According to White House archives, Biden also started the Biden Breast Health Initiative in Delaware, which educated over 10,000 high school girls about detecting early signs of breast cancer. She embarked on the idea in 1993 after four of her friends were diagnosed with breast cancer.
Joe and Jill Biden also lost their son 46-year-old Beau Biden, an Iraq War veteran, to brain cancer in 2015.
Jill married Joe Biden in 1977, becoming a stepmother to Beau and Hunter Biden, 50, after their mother, Joe Biden’s first wife, died in a car crash in 1972 when he was set to make his Senate debut, serving Delaware. The two also have one daughter, 39-year-old Ashley.
On Saturday, several media outlets announced Joe Biden, 77, won the state of Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes, ultimately giving him the presidency. President Trump has yet to concede to Biden and is set to embark on several legal fights in multiple states over allegations of voter fraud, though little evidence has been presented of that accusation.
