First lady Jill Biden said Wednesday there would be disastrous results and a loss of human rights if former President Trump is re-elected in November.
“We will lose all of our rights,” she said on “The View.” She had warned earlier that “we cannot take things for granted, and think of the Supreme Court for God’s sake. Talk about things getting worse? Can you imagine if we put any more Republicans on the Supreme Court? No!”

We have to fight hard so we get it back because, [co-host] Joy [Behar], you and I remember when Roe became the law, and we kept thinking ‘oh, this won’t be taken away,’ but we cannot take things for granted, because they can.”
