Vogue revealed its August cover on Monday, featuring First Lady Jill Biden posed in a white double-breasted coat dress with the tagline "We will decide our future." The interview with Biden took place in April, as she made a pair of campaign appearances in Minnesota.

Dr. Biden made the future comment during a visit to a brewery, telling the audience at a Women for Biden event that "We are the first generation in half a century to give our daughters a country with fewer rights than we had." She added, "Book bans. Voting laws gutted. Court decisions that strip away our most basic freedoms. But circumstance is not destiny" and "we will decide our future."

Speaking on the 2024 campaign, Biden told Vogue, "Every campaign is important, and every campaign is hard. Every campaign is unique. But this one, the urgency is different. We know what’s at stake. Joe is asking the American people to come together to draw a line in the sand against all this vitriol."

"We don’t need more chaos," she said, adding that "fundamentally, Americans care about each other. And this anger and animosity and divisiveness … it’s not who we are. We’re good people."

Jill Biden also told Vogue that she has pushed her husband to take action in "so many different areas," adding, "I tell him what I’m seeing, what I’m hearing—and he gets it. And this is where the magic happens."

The interview with the First Lady took place well before June 27th’s presidential debate, with the article adding an Editor’s Note at the top that read, "The debate on June 27 spurred a discussion about whether President Joe Biden should remain the Democratic nominee. Dr. Jill Biden, the first lady and Vogue’s August cover subject, has fiercely defended her husband and stood by him."

"Reached by phone on June 30 at Camp David, where the Biden family had gathered for the weekend, she told Vogue that they 'will not let those 90 minutes define the four years he’s been president. We will continue to fight.' President Biden, she added, 'will always do what’s best for the country.' Whatever happens in the weeks and months between now and November, it is Dr. Biden who will remain the president’s closest confidant and advocate."

The Vogue piece criticized the right, stating that President Biden was up against people who are "Christian nationalist, nativist, racist, misogynist, queerphobic, neofascist, techno-authoritarian." The outlet added that both the right and the left "boil down to the same idea, which is that some group or other ought to dominate everyone else. All they differ on is who occupies the magic circle. Or, in TV terms, sits on the Iron Throne."
