Libby Copeland: Jill Biden still teaches Monday through Thursday back in Delaware in the frantic last days of the presidential campaign.

Her students may know who she is, or they may not. She tends to think not. They are busy people, community college students, many of them holding down jobs and raising kids while they put themselves through school. And if they’ve Googled her and figured out who she is, they’ve mostly been too polite to say. When asked if she is Joe Biden’s wife, Jill always has told her students she is his “relative,” and let the question drop there. She is their English instructor, and that’s the most important thing.

Of course, the Secret Service has made it slightly more difficult to remain undercover. The officer dresses down, but still.
