Jill Biden has revealed in a new interview that she thought her husband Joe was “having a stroke” during his infamous 2024 debate with Donald Trump.
“I was frightened, because I had never, ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never,” the former first lady told CBS News.
“I don’t know what happened,” she added. “As I watched it, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.”
Then-President Biden shocked the nation during the June 27, 2024, debate, repeatedly freezing on camera, fumbling for answers and appearing dazed and confused.
His dismal performance led to multiple Democrats calling for him to exit the presidential race, which he did July 21, endorsing then-Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place.
Jill Biden is on a media tour ahead of the release of her memoir, “View from the East Wing,” out June 2.
