Jill Biden wanted to send an unsubtle message at the North Carolina rally to those worried about her husband’s debate performance, a source close to her has said.

The First Lady wore a black dress adorned with the word “VOTE” all over as she supported her husband at his first public post-debate appearance.

“Her own words and her own attire as she walked out today should answer any questions about where she stands,” the source said.

“She’s his wife of 47 years; she is his biggest supporter, biggest champion, and biggest believer. He knows he didn’t have the best first debate – which frankly is quite common among incumbent presidents who have to deal with both governing and campaigning,” they added.
