First Lady Jill Biden visited Connecticut Tuesday to attend a political fundraiser before heading to Massachusetts.

Her visit began at Tweed New Haven Regional Airport in New Haven on Tuesday afternoon. The First Lady's plane landed just after 4 p.m.

The White House said she spoke at a fundraiser for the Biden Victory Fund in Guilford. In her speech, she touted several of her husband's accomplishments.

She covered topics including economic recovery from the pandemic, the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Kentaji Brown Jackson and climate change.

The First Lady also talked about the stakes of the election, saying "Democracies don't always die at the end of a rifle. They can die slowly and subtly, you know, one freedom at a time, one right, one hope at a time."

After the event, she flew to Boston Logan International Airport in Massachusetts and spoke at an event in Cambridge. The event was part of the White House Initiative on Women's Health Research.
