Jill Biden has said she thought Joe Biden was “having a stroke” during the 2024 debate with Donald Trump
Former US First Lady Jill Biden has said she thought her husband was having a stroke during his disastrous 2024 debate with Donald Trump. The remarks have revived scrutiny of Joe Biden’s decline and the efforts by his inner circle to defend his fitness for office.
Speaking to CBS on Wednesday, Jill Biden said she was “frightened” as the then-81-year-old president stumbled through the televised debate in June 2024, appearing to lose his train of thought and struggling to respond coherently.
“I’d never seen Joe like that before,” she said, adding that she thought at the time: “Oh, my God, he’s having a stroke. And it scared me to death.”
The debate triggered panic among Democrats and renewed allegations of mental decline, which were long denied by the Biden administration. It also prompted Democratic Party leaders to pressure Biden to step down as their presidential candidate in favor of Vice President Kamala Harris.
